Mopar Newbie here with a Newbie question. (I cut my teeth on the Ford 8.8" rear end in a Fox Chassis, so leaf spring Mopar's are a whole new world to me...)
I was pretty confident that I had an 8-3/4" rear end under my Cuda until I was searching for U-bolts and found a listing for 8 1/4". Is there such a thing as an 8-1/4"
I know there's an 7-1/4", 8-3/4" and 9-3/4" (aka Dana 60??), but the 8-1/4 threw me...(maybe it's a type-o?)
Regardless, I'm attaching photos of what's under my car. The ring and pinion need to come out the front of the rear end housing. According the the shop manual I have, both the 7-1/4" and 9-3/4" rear ends require the ring and pinion to come out the back of the housing, 8-3/4 coming out the front.
Just making sure I get the right U-bolts...Which leads me to another question...When manufacturers describe U-bolts as being 7", 8" or 9", are they identifying which rear end they fit, or is it the length of the U-bolt?
