I have, more so in the 741 than the 742.
Keep looking you will eventually see it.
I had a pre 741 with a cone type in it. I think the housing was a 657.

Not the automatic trans cars. They came with 8 3/4”.

Interesting, thanks.
So its highly likely my '69 Barracuda has the cone type then? Looking forward to finding out. The Barracuda IVe found in a field is also a '69.
Ive been told one of the main reasons the UK got HD parts and 8 3/4 Sure-grips for the UK 273 and 318 cars is Chrysler did not want to deal with warranty claims on these cars any more than they had to so gave them beefed up components. Ive also been told that due to the twisty and narrow UK roads UK cars would need/expect better handling and brakes that the average US car. Not sure of the truthfulness of this though.
I guess what you've written above is not set in stone though?

As mentioned in my original post, this applies to 8.75" rearends built for the USA market. I have no experience with foreign applications.

I get that, but even foreign applications built in the USA have to use the same parts bins surely?

I'm not an authority on Mopars built to foreign specs, but I assume the drivetrain parts are most likely the same.
Things like RHD dash frames were not taken from the same parts bin unless the cars were converted after they arrived overseas.

What axle do you think is under the car in the ad?
I don't think it is a dana 60. If it was it would not have a Borg Warner unit in it would it?
The picture in the ad looks like a 8 3/4 housing to me.
I bought the ad off of ebay. It should be here in a few days then I will see what it says.

I believe 69 was the changeover year from clutch to cone. Could be either.Cheers.Its complete and low mileage but as yet condition unknown. Did the A-bodies in '69 come with the cone type? I was under the impression they where clutch?
I always say it's all in what you value

just a housing is going for $400+ these days. complete with a desirable gear like that i've seen people asking 1200+ for them drum to drum.
Would a Hemi car have even come out of the factory with the 8 and 3/4 rear axle? I thought they were all Dana 60.
EDIT: ignorance healed , read further through the thread.
