Itll be too wide. you can get deep offsets and perches and make it work.

Different widths... some of the early B bodies are close but still too wide

Looks like a Duster you have? Find a '65-'67 B body rear and move the perches, will be just right.

They will be to wide for your A body. E and C bodies are the widest of the car rear ends. 71-74 B bodies are to wide also. As mentioned the early B bodies 65-67 will work and are just a little wider than the A- body 8 3/4's. Stay away from 64 and earlier rears as they used a 2 piece taper axle. Of course the bolt pattern is larger on a B than a A-body.
