REAR END QUESTION

[zigs]

I have two rear ends #1 is a 64 Belvedere 8 3/4 clutch style sure grip (355)
#2 is an Abody 8 3/4 cone style sure grip (323). I want to swap the two third members
any problems here. The Belvedere has the adjustable right hand axle. I want to switch just the third members not the axles

 

[R/T Boy 67]

It will be a direct swap. The axle adjuster is a better set up than what the Belvedere had originally.

I forgot to mention, due to too many beers, that you may have to buy conversion u-joints, if they are different on each third member.

Thanks that's what I thought just making sure. I didn't know if the inner roll pins would have anything to do with it.

The thrust spacers are a different design between the clutch and cone sure grips, but they are the same length.

Can the thrust washers be reused. I dont remember them being in the abody cone member

As long as they don't fall out of place, yes

The spacer in the cone unit can't fall out. The spider gear pin goes through the middle of it. The spacer has a slotted hole in it so it can slide back and forth a little.

'64 Belvedere would have taper axles originally.

You are putting the cone type in and taking the clutch type out ? If so, why ? The clutch type is the superior one.

Exactly. 355 are in my Duster with clutch style. I want them in my Dart. Selling the Duster
