We pulled this junkyard '66 C-body differential a couple of years ago with the intent of narrowing the housing and installing it into the 1972 Plymouth Duster that you can see get completely rebuilt on this channel. The C-body axle housing measures 56 1/2" from one end of the housing to the other (backing plates removed) and need to remove the spring perches and take each side down 1 15/16" (or 1 7/8" depending on how you cut) We'll use a round bar the length of the housing and special made pucks from Leadmine Products that help align the new configuration for welding.
