Re: 68-72 rear end issue
Classic Parts of America has conversion axles that would probably solve the problem.

Re: 68-72 rear end issue
So 40 thou is thinner than a dime, is that what we're talking about here?

Re: 68-72 rear end issue
Thank You for clarifying my mistake that I made.
The axle play is .040 thou not .40 It seems like that would be to much movement on those c clips. Ultimately you would have your rear end axles able to move .080 thou on you |

Re: 68-72 rear end issue
I realize that most shops that redrill axle bolt patterns will cover that prior to drilling

Re: 68-72 rear end issue
Food for thought, you could go with c-clip eliminators

Re: 68-72 rear end issue
What kind of job is it to do the c clip eliminator kit, I haven’t had any experience with that

Re: 68-72 rear end issue
The 72’s are longer than the 68’s as well. The over all width of the housings changed in or around ‘70.
