Mopar rear ends

I received this from a Mopar loving buddy of mine and thought I'd pass it along. Anyone looking for a axle with a drop out center section might want to consider one of these.

"As we said earlier, these rears are easily adaptable to numerous other manufacturers, as well. They are very popular with street rod builders as an alternative to the Ford 9-inch or the GM 12-bolt rears, because they are so easily modified to suit your performance needs.

For muscle or street machines, for instance, the 1971-1974 B-body 63-inch axle will fit quite nicely under 1970 to 1979 Ford Torino, Ranchero and 1972-1979 full-size and intermediate Fords, in addition to the 1967 Fairlane, and even 1935-1936 Plymouths.

The A-body axle, at 57 1/8 inches, is similar in length to the 1957 to 1959 Fords, the 1964 1/2 to 1966 Mustangs and the 1968 to 1970 AMC AMX, Gremlin, Hornet and Javelin. Earlier applications could include 1928-1940 Fords.

The early B-body units, at 59 1/2 inches, will fit under 1937 and 1948 Mopars, and the 1971 to 1974 Javelins and Rebels, too. Early B-body units will also adapt to 1939-1948 Chevys and 1941-1948 Fords.

E-body differentials from 1970 through 1974, measuring 61 5/8 inches, can be used in 1957 to 1972 Ford pickups and 1960 to 1964 Ford full-size cars.

The 1965 to 1969 Imperial rears, at 62 inches wide, can be adapted to 1955 to 1959 Chevy pickups or 1954-1956 Ford pickups. They could also be considered for 1970 to 1981 F-bodies and 1968 to 1972 A-body GM models as well, being only 1/-inch narrower than the stock GM differentials."
