Does anyone know if the axle shafts from a 7 1/4 rear axle fits in a 8 3/4 axle? It's an e-body 7 1/4, so bolt pattern is 4,5". And the 8 3/4 housing is for e-body also.
No, the 7 1/4 toy rearend axles won't fit the 8 3/4.

Thanks, could not find that info anywhere.
Where are you at? Do you need 8 3/4 axles? I have just the axles that I'll never use? Shipping would be a killer though....

Sweden, shipping would hurt! :('
I could probably find them here.
69-71 c body are almost the same lenght.
I think if you used both, an 1/8" narrower. Within the range of the adjuster takibg up slack, and room for the drum to clear the backing plate. If you only need one, really not a problem.
Then, if you could find a c body axle pair , it probably comes with the housing, and you can bolt the whole thing in.
