Rear end help

[Hossbee]

I have found a 8 3/4 at a local pull a yard. It is out of a 63 b body. I'm wanting to put it into my 69 coronet. I have researched an see that the spring perches are the same an even the flange distance same as well. But the length for drum to drum is 58 1/2 on the 63 b body an mine should be 60 1/8. Would this rear end work? Any an all help is much appreciated.

If that is an original 63 rearend it will have tapered axles(large nut holding the brakedrum on)Not a wise choice!!Get one for a 68-70 b-body!

One from a 66-67 would work too. They are about 1/2" shorter (on average) than the 68-70 rear....and Steve is right about the 63 having the bolt on drums. They are not very easy to work on.
