Re: A body 8 3/4

[Gary Futrell <gary.futrell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got some different length 8 3/4 axles; truck, E body, B body,
etc.. All these could be cut for a 62-63 length 8 3/4. I was just
checking to see if someone was using an A body axle under their 62-63
B body. I have some offset spring brackets, but can't remember how far
they move the springs. I think they are somewhat longer than the
original spring brackets too. The springs would just need to move 1/2
inch inboard with the A body axle.
