im trying to get parts for my 8 3/4 but i forgot what car it came out of. So what a body came with a 8 3/4?
If you are looking for Brake parts, the two main sizes were 10x2.5, and 11x3. Sure there are others...but for the 8 3/4, these seem to be most common. You should be able to determine this by the backing plates if you have them.
For the 10x2.5, I tell the parts guy that I am looking for brakes parts for a 68 Plymouth Satellite.
I hope this helps, I am actually doing the exact same thing. I had a B-body housing that I just had narrowed...so I am buying the brakes now.

Humm... I thought all A-body brakes were 10 x 1-3/4.
I am sorry, I am not trying to mislead anyone. My response was based on my looking for 10x2.5 parts. In looking for these parts, I had to tell them my car was a B body (68 Satellite)...and the only options were 10x2.5 and 11x3. Maybe if I had listed an A body, I would have seen the 1-3/4.

No problem. I didn't think you were trying to be misleading. I was just saying I thought all stock A-bodies used the 10 x 1-3/4 brakes. I'm not absolutely sure myself, but I think that's right. And you have a good point as he didn't say it was an A-body rear. I assumed it was since the car in his avatar looks to be a Duster but it could be out of anything. He hasn't posted anything back so I'm not sure what's up.
