Hello everyone,
Are the attached pictures good enough for one of you all to determine type / size so I can order the correct pumpkin gasket? 1975 Duster - may not be original.
As always, I appreciate the helpful knowlwdge.

Looks like an 8-3/4" Mopar rearend. I never use gaskets for them - just put a bead of RTV around it, and have never had one leak.

A gasket is nice because it will tear off and make it much easier to remove the pumkin. Especially when using the Right Suff which sticks real good.
 
Yeah that rear end is not original to what rolled out of the factory in 1975 on any A body. The 8 3/4 rear end now in your Duster was last installed at the factory in Dusters in 1972.
 
If there is a gasket available I ALWAYS use one. I much prefer a gasket to RTV
