Hi, I’m trying to switch my 5x4 axles To 5x4.5 lug pattern. I think my rear was out of a 71 Dart. Right now it’s in my 67 Dart. I’m not sure what rear I have. Or what spline axels I have. And also what stuff I need to change to 5x4.5. I know Dr Diff has some axles I can use but I need to make sure I purchase the right ones. I have a 276 tag that’s on the rear. Please see all pictures. Thanks

8.75 rear but need to see other side of the differential
to see what case you have.
 
8.75 differential, and if it is small bolt pattern, then it's a stock A body rear.
The factory never altered from 30 spline axles, the 35 splined ones are race axles to be used with a spool.
The 276 tag on the rear is the installed gear ratio- 2.76:1. Not exactly performance oriented, but you'll have a great top end on the freeway.
You will also need to get some B, E, or C body brakes (backing plates, drums, hardware) to go with your new axles.
 
Dr diff stock a body will work but you will need the backplates etc as stated above. Also will kick the backspacing out a 1/2".
Just in case you are getting rims, measure after the conversion is done.
 
You have an 8 3/4 as others have said. If the ratio is really 2.76, save your money. You'll never stress a 4" bolt pattern w those gears. :D Seriously - Pulling the axles is the first step to change gears. A set of 3.55's or 3.91's would seem like a huge difference.

Where in Maryland? There's a few of us spread around.
