Rear end swap
Probably a silly question but here it goes.
I have a 70 8 lug wide rear end and I’m switching to trailing arms. The rear end I got is the shorter one. Will the early narrow rear fit or do I have to stick with the wide axle? Going from a Dana to an Eaten. Don’t judge. |

Re: Rear end swap
The diff housing will need to have a connection boss for the panhard rod, which controls and helps stabilize the axle action.
Google a few pics of the pan hard rod arrangement and this will make sense. All good Coley

Re: Rear end swap
I’m using the CPP Panhard that connects the trailing arm to the frame.
