In 70 Mopar had a cone / Auburn style sure grip , in the 60s they used a better design clutch rebuildable sure grip unit , the detroit lockers is a totally different design & can be harsh

I have a complete 8 3/4 rearend with drum brakes that is out of my 70 challenger. It has about 2000 miles on it since it was rebuilt and new brakes. It has a factory posi unit with 3.90 gears. If you are interested you can call me. I want $650 for it complete. My number during the day is 716 649 7354. Thanks Lee
