Picked up next years winter project.

[ACUDANUT]

We were just trying to help out.
One time I bought an axle from a 72 Coronet thinking it would be a good spare for my 70 Charger. I've bought stuff thinking that I might be able to use it.
I saw that, I already had 3 of them once I got home.

Fixed it for you

By the time you cut it down, reweld, buy a sure grip, bearings and gears, axles and flanges, plus the 350 you just spent on it, you could have built a dana. 

And/or have some custom wheels made$$$

Another thing to check is the bolt pattern for the wheels. Make sure it is 5 on 4.5 like your Charger is.

Okay thank you for your input.

Its just a thought before you sink anymore money into it.

Yep that's a thought.

Do yourself a favor and price shop rather then 1 liner me. If you are building from scratch, im trying to help you. I bought my dana 60 truck housing for 25 bucks in the junkyard.

This is what I wrote to start this thread.
I decided it was time to start thinking ahead and purchased 8 3/4 rear end 742 3:23 open It's for my 73 Charger SE Ill put a 489 or just keep the 742 probably going with 3:55 gears in it wake up my 400 bb lol. Looking forward to tinkering with.
Not once did I ask for advice on what to do I just wanted to share it every one on here it feels like assumes I didn't do any home work. I could of payed  $3,000 for a new but that's not why bought this car it's to have fun working on it and enjoying the process of it. I've worked on motorcycles,hydroplanes,sprintcars I know what I have I appreciate every ones advice. Good for you on spending $25.00 on one that's awesome.

If you did your homework- a brand new one drum to drum with oil cost 2,000... you said you like to tinker, thats why i said my truck housing cost 25 bucks.... just the housing.... i built mine from scratch, you said you were looking forward to tinkering, i suggested tinkering and spending the same money on something better.... you got pissy. I built a 35 spline bullet proof dana 60 for under 700 bucks end to end. Let me know what your 8 3/4 cost when you are done.

Well, this topic really went to hell .....

[rtsb]

Yes it did and all I did was show my new acquisition I'll go over to the other forums at least I don't get thrown into the fire for just being excited.

[c00nhunterjoe]

Being excited and attacking forum members and calling them idiots are 2 different things. I dont think any forum will welcome that behavior. Good luck though.

Dooley noted I'll take that under advisement the next I want to I put some thing on here. I'll put in in parenthesis  (I'm not looking for advice unless I personally ask for it )

Ya lost me.

OP mentioned getting different offset wheels if he doesn't narrow the housing.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Don't let it get to you. Stick around and post up when you have something to share. I'm sure some on here can appreciate your excitement.

Yes I had thought of that when I purchased it.  It's only 1.5 longer than mine so 3/4 " offset difference on the wheels is not that big of a deal.
