Not sure if anyone still makes them, a little worried my jeep rearend is too wide by a scosh. I looked at dr diff, seems they are out, anyone know where to get a pair?
Does anyone currently make a BBP direct bolt in axle for a 7 1/4 SBP

Click Ask A Question on 7 1/4 axle page on Dr Diff web site and ask him when he expects them back in stock. He will let you know because he knows when he will get another batch. Thats what I did when the 11 3/4 front disc were out of stock. Also, you can create an account and Get Notified when they come back in stock and you will get an email.
74 -76 Dart or Duster were all big bolt. some were 7 1/4
Nope.
The federal mandate for front disks didn’t kick in until January 1, 1976. So from that point they were all 5x4.5”.
All the V8 cars ‘73+ were disks in the front and so they were all BBP, but /6 A-bodies could have been SBP all the way into mid-year of the ‘76 model year.
All the SBP cars would have been 7.25” rears, BBP could be 7.25 or 8.25
LMFAO , I said : some were 7 1/4.
I see only you can state (bbp could be 7 1/4). You never seize you amaze me. Instead of me stating some were 7 1/4 , I should have said. BBP could be 7 1/4. Would that have got a Yup instead of a nope. J.A.
Yeah but you got the year ranges completely wrong, that’s what I was correcting. There were SBP 7.25’s all the way into the ‘76 model year.
You said -
Which is completely false. Every ‘74 to mid year ‘76 A-body with 4 wheel drums was SBP, and that would have been a substantial number of the slant 6 cars.

Who the hell cares how I said it I was basically telling him there could be BB available used through those years for his rear and you agreed there could be. Are you sure all my I's were dotted and My T's were crossed. You better go check and please quote me if they are not. J.A.
Yeah, it’s not how you said it, and I definitely didn’t correct your bad grammar or misused words. You were factually incorrect.
If someone read your post, saw a ‘75 slant-6 Duster listed in their local wrecking yard and made a trip out thinking it was 100% a BBP car they’d be pretty disappointed to find it was actually a SBP drum/drum car don’t you think? Except there’s a very good chance that’s exactly what it would be.
You gave bad information. I corrected it. That’s it. If you don’t like being corrected, don’t be wrong so often.

If someone read my post and there is a 74- 76 duster in a local yard. They are wasting their time going to check out the 50 year old car? Your saying it would never have a Big Bolt 7 1/4 so I am wrong . But then you say some "BBP could be 7 1/4 or 8 1/4. Which is it ? Some were or they never existed. Or its only fact when you say it.

You said all ‘74-76 Darts and Dusters were BBP. That’s literally what you said, and that is 100% bullshit.
Some were BBP, some were SBP. All the SBP cars in that range had 7.25’s. Of the BBP A-body cars in that year range, some were 7.25 and some were 8.25. That’s a fact regardless of who says it, but that isn’t what you said.
Another thread derailed by OMM’s nonsense.
I didn't derail anything. I mentioned where he might find axles to help. I never met a bigger a$$ hole then you. California Democrat
lol. Except probably half the cars you said he could find axles in would be SBP. And you forgot an entire model year that would have had some BBP axle’s available. And then you said you shouldn’t even pull axles out of a 50 year old car in the yard, which is the only useful application of knowing what the BBP 7.25” axles came in.
And then you call me names because you’re too fragile to admit you were wrong.
Like I said, typical OMM thread derailment. Bad info, fragile ego, name calling nonsense.
My first post.
74 -76 Dart or Duster were all big bolt. some were 7 1/4
Tell me where the bad info was that you had to be an *** hole about. I bought 100's of 74-76 a-bodies here in the north east and never had one small bolt car.. 73 yes 74-76 never seen one . But you being "GOD" owning a mix breed car have seen it all.
What did it matter? Telling him where to look for axles. And your the one that said he would be wasting looking at a 50 year old car listed in a local yard. That may or may not have what he needs
Your words not mine.>>> If someone read your post, saw a ‘75 slant-6 Duster listed in their local wrecking yard and made a trip out thinking it was 100% a BBP car they’d be pretty disappointed to find it was actually a SBP drum/drum car don’t you think?

Doesn't look like that is a definite no but just a maybe. Or a very good chance?
Get a flucken life already!

Anyone got any used Duster 7 -1/4 BBP they want to sell me so I don't have to wait on Dr Diff until next month? Dude is fast on his emails back- gotta say. I feel goo about all the attention I am gettting here- better than no answers- but I really really would love to get backing plates and drums even, I am guessing on the BBP they are always 10 instead of the teeny tiny drums I have on it now. If I have to wait for Dr Diff, I will get with new drums too. but if anyone has, man, I would appreciate it very much. Ordering new brake lines too today.
@RAT ROD AL had one, & I tried to have a friend hook-up in Hershey PA w/a Member from NY with one(it got scrapped). Shipping is killer, or I'd have had Al & Theresa's, so.
Just a heads up, the factory LBP 7.25 housing is narrower, has larger bearings, & uses the std. 10×2.5" rear drum setup w/5-stud backing plates. Only saying this to head off confusion, the axles aren't swappable to a SBP 7.25" housing. Only the Dr. Diffs are.
I just scraped 4 ----7.25 big bolt axles. That no one wanted.
