Does anyone know of a link that has the specs. for mopar rears? I am looking basically for the widths of the 8 3/4's. Wms to wms and flange to flange. The reason for this is I found a nice pile of mostly bare housings, but there are a few that are complete in a bone yard. I am thinking about picking up a few of them to have on hand to play with. Thanks.

The following is a listing of flange to flange widths for various year 8-3/4" housings. This is a measure of the bare housing, with brake backing plates removed, from the outside of the flange across to the outside of the other flange. Chrysler part numbers are listed as well for the purpose of showing a distinction between some housings and axles.
