What rearend is this?

[1971RR]

Can anyone tell me what rearend is in the attached pictures? I found it on a 72 SSP/RR clone. Its doesnt look like what should be a stock 8 1/4". Its not an 8 3/4" but looks too small to be a Dana 60. Sorry for the poor angles but it was hard to get underneath the car.

Here's a link to a thread I starrted on identifying my rearend.... the one in the car... lol.

In it, Cranky posted a really helpful picture to aid in deciphering. It looks as though it has the outline of an 8 1/4"... someone with more expertise will chime in I'm sure.

Thanks for the link FridayGT. I agree. Looks to be an 8 1/4" but it looked larger than the 8 1/4" on my car. Must be the diff cover giving it the illusion of size.

That's what she said... lol. Hope it helps, Cranky just vicariously answered another question... lol

Has to be a 8 1/4 unless it's some Brand-x unit (which is highly unlikely)
because after the 8 3/4, Chrysler 9 1/4 had a removable back cover but it looked similar to a stop sign and was ALOT bigger!
