i got in my 8 3/4 rear end, finally! its been sitting at a UPS store in Marrieta, Ga since August. i had shippping problems.

its an 8 3/4  housing out of a  cuda drag car. it is 5" shorter than the stock 71-74 B-body axel, so thats 2 1/2" s backspacing on each side for larger tires!

here it is right when i got it

its replacing my old 8 1/4 rear, which would not have been able to take the abuse of a big block for very long.

front seat, as clean as it will ever get.

my back seat, door sills, new go-wing, and my door handles. the back seats cleaned up really well. when i removed the seats i found a king kong card from 1976 and some old quarters in really good shape for thier age.

this is build sheet number 1. it was behind the rear seat, i found another one for a different satellite under the front seat and part of another build sheet under the carpet.

Hey James. Pictures of the window are posted on my page 2. Window looks really good. I didnt notice much for scratches and scuffs. If you are interested, I will take the window out and give it a good inspection, and compare it to my window just to make sure they are the same. Is it just the mirror glass that is broken on your passenger mirror? I have a spare driver side mirror that has a crack in the casing. The mirror glass is good, and just might fit yours.

Hey James, I just started my week of midnight shifts at work. I probably wont be able to get those pics of the window for a bit. I am still not 100% that Jeremy is ready to part this car out yet.

Talked to Jeremy and he is thinking that the windows are factory tinted. Do you have tinted windows on your satellite? If you have factory tint, it should be listed as one of the options on your fender tag. Not 100% positive on 1973's, but for 1971's the option code is G11 for tinted glass all the way around, and G12 for just tinting on the side windows.
