[1940plymouth]

Hello everyone, my name is Bob and I go by '40Plymouth on the p15-d24 forum.

I have a 1940 P-10 business coupe that the rear end is going bad, I was told that a 1978 D-100 rearend would fit in my car. If I measured right, the rear has to be 46 and 3/4 in length.

I would like to keep the rearend MOPAR and keep my tranny and engine with are the flathead and three speed on the column

Any help on this matter would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Bob

I guess it depends on where you're measuring points are. Spring perches can be made, purchased, removed and welded back on where needed. A D100 will have at least 48 " between the fenderwells and my B3B wants a tracking width of 64-65" to center tires in the rear fenders. Late model Jeep Cherokees seem to be the modelof choice for transplants right now. They're MOPAR now, still in the family.

Yeah, the 46¾ number would seem to be the spring perch... Drum to drum is likely in the 60" range and this is the important number.

Many late axles have disc brakes available and with a front disc conversion (www.rustyhope.com) you will be able to stop on a dime and give some change.

Don Coatney put a 73 Satellite rear end under his Plymouth. I think he said it was almost a bolt in.

He has links to his Photobucket in his posts and he has a whack of great pics in the album.

I've been looking for a Satellite rear end for my 49 for quite a while...few and far between up here.

Close but no cigar. It is a 1974 Dodge Charger.
