Thanks, Charrlie. I have the complete rear end, drum to ... well, it was missing one drum, but otherwise complete. Seems like it should be pretty straightforward.

If it's a 2.76, that's not all bad for me. My goal is a reliable, fun, and somewhat economical cruiser. With a stock slant 6 and automatic transmission, acceleration won't be it's strength regardless. Now that I'll have matching wheels, it will be time to buy tires, so I'm open to suggestions...

I got a look at it (via pictures) and it's a 4-door, so I don't think it's a Dart Sport, I think it's a Dart Custom (it's got the black vinyl top). With all the trim gone, it's hard for me to be sure. But I don't think it really matters. It should still be a 7 1/4 LBP. If anyone knows...

Not sure about the gear ratio, unfortunately. It's a 318 engine, fwiw. I was planning on getting the brakes with the rear end, and it sounds like it wouldn't hurt to grab the driveshaft while I'm at it.

Gotcha. So if I'm swapping my '65 7 1/4 for a '73 7 1/4, do I need the '73 driveshaft? Will I be looking at any other changes and/or parts needed? BTW, I know the downside to the 7 1/4, and I get why many would say this is a waste of time and money. That said, I'd like to get the car on the...

ddart, it seems the '73 has a 7 1/4 also. Would you still expect the driveshaft to be different from the '65? Any other compatibility issues? Not sure, but I think the '65 driveshaft has a universal joint setup that changed in later years.

Thanks for the replies. My front brakes have already been converted, and the front has the LBP. Thus the incentive to get a LBP rear, even if it's just a band-aid while I look for something beefier. Truth be told, however, with the way I expect to drive this car and the stock slant six under...

Disclosure: I am a novice at this. I want to replace the rear end on my 1965 Dart GT convertible. Moving up from the 7 1/4 would be nice, but not essential. I saw a 1973 Demon advertised at a yard about 90 minutes from where I live. Before I make the drive, I am wondering: 1. Will it...
