so this is kind of pre gen 1 but I've been researching for a bit and have come up with the following plan.
My frame off restoration includes using a 1973 dodge 8 3/4 rear end. since I'm completely tearing it down and rebuilding it, I was looking to add disc brakes. the rebuild plan includes a Detroit truetrac, 3.55 or 3.73.
now, other early mopar (cuda, challenger, etc) using the 8 3/4 have the same rear disc conversion kit part numbers. I'm assuming it should work with the truck's 8 3/4 rear end as I believe there was no major difference besides spring perches.
anyone have any knowledge on the topic of the 8 3/4 rear ends? any input appreciated.
