B-body 8 3/4

[xx88man]

Can someone tell me how much a 67 B-body rear is worth...I'm looking to buy. I found one that is just the housing and axles but I don't want to over-pay obviously  . WIW?

IMO about $100US

Housing and axle shouldn't be very much.  I think $100 is fair.  If it's got a sure grip and a good gear then you might add another $300 to $400.

I'll have to try beat him down a bit. Thanks guys!

$100 sounds fair all right, they aren't around like they used to be though.

  Difficult to find parts for reasonable price nowadays.

Do some research and verify the length of that housing before you buy.  I thought one of those years had an odd length housing...maybe not.  $100 is the very most I would spend.  It depends on the condition of the spring perches.  Some I've seen were rusted very thin.  Also, have a look at the axle bearings.  Do they look decent or are you going to have to replace them.  If they have been sitting in the dirt/mud, I might try to get them cheaper.

The last two 8 3/4's I got were for free.  They were C-body length though.  I just bought a car from the guy. He had a pile of 8 3/4 housings he was going to take to the scrap yard but prices were very low.  I might try and go buy a couple off of him just to have for future projects.  If he was going to get scrap price for them anyway, maybe he'd let them go for $25 or something.

Around here people are asking $400-$600.... Or more.... I don't know if anyone is buying, I sure won't....

[RUNCHARGER]

Yes: $400 for an old housing and it's time to buy a new S60 and be done with it.

I paid $150 complete from drum to drum and an open 741 center.

The thing about B body axles is that they are the most plentiful of Mopar axles from that time period. Think about all the B body based vehicles there were compared to A's E's C's etc.

Plymouth, dodge, Chrysler
Coupes, convertibles, sedans, wagons, the list is plentiful.

So let's rattle off a few nameplates:

Charger
Coronet
Coronet wagon
Coronet convertible
Coronet hard top post
Superbee
Satellite coupe
Satellite sedan
Satellite wagon
Roadrunner
GTX
Belvedere
Belvedere sedan
Belvedere wagon

 A true 1967 housing and axles is not the same as the 68-70 b-body

65-67 are a stand alone rear. Narrower than the 68-70 B and little wider than A-body.

I thought I got a good deal on one at Spring Fling a few years back for $150 drum to drum with center section but no shock plates.

I think around here a 65-67 would be around $150-200 at a swap meet for axles and housing. Add $100 non swap price.

Those are desirable since the 62-64 B-body max wedge clone guys want them because they are about the same width, same perch width, but don't have tapered axle as the stock 62-64 rears do.

AND the A-body guys can use them with a little more backspacing rear rims. The perches are only ~1" wider so some people just drop them in an a-body pushing the spring out a little. This way an A-body guy gets an 8 3/4 with big bolt pattern. As opposed to buying an a-body 8 3/4 rear that is still small bolt pattern that's going for $500-600+ drum to drum open rear.

Great info. I hadn't thought about them possibly being used in an A-body. Thanks!
