Help me identify the rearend

[Dr C GT]

Hi folks!

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the '65 Dart GT that I acquired. I haven't a clue what rearend is in it currently. Attached are a couple pictures. Any of you able to help me out?

TIA

Looks like a 7 1/4 to me

Go to mymopar.com and under the resources section you can download a lot of materials and a factory service manual

Hey now.... Dont be disrespecting the 7 1/4. Mine has 316,000 miles on it, sure it is a bit sloppy but who isn't after 52 years

Who says ugly is bad? That's what's in mine at the moment too.

Thanks! I had my suspicions.

Ok, so here's my next question... There's a 360/A904LA combo in it. What are your recommendations for the rearend and possible places to look for one, if you suggest a swap?

Mopar 8.75 , mopar 8.25,

furd exploder 8.8. Article on narrowing an 8.8 to fit A body. They come with desirable gear ratios, lockers, 5 bolt 4.5" bolt pattern, and disc brakes.
