Guest Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 A recient purchace and my plan is to rod the body. I am looking for any information that would help me out. This is my first project and there will be a huge learning curve. What's the best rear end for fit, or Dodge Chasis? I need a grill surround and parts of the center piece, and a few pieces of chrome for the body. Are there any after market body parts available?

Guest Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Try a recent 60s or 70s 8 3/4 rear end. I know that they will fit a 36 because I had one years ago with that rear end. All you have to do is make certain that the spring mounts are in alignment and possibly shorten/lengthen the drive shaft. The 8 3/4 sure-grip will hold up to almost any big block torque.<BR>I do have the lower grille crankhole cover for that car, but it's not cheap. They are rather tough to find and I don't know if anyone is reproducing them yet. Call (541) 535-1890 or write John S. Keiser @ P.O. box 960 Phoenix, Oregon 97535-0960. I can usually find most parts for MOPARS from the 30s. It may take some time, but they don't call me the scrounger for no reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
