For Sale 8 1/4 Axle from a '78 New Yorker

[1975.Imperial]

8 1/4 axle taken from a '78 New Yorker. I used it as a donor for a rear drum conversion on my Imperial so it doesn't come with brakes. open diff, not sure what gearing.

Asking $100 CAD.
Pickup In either London, Ontario or Lake Simcoe area. I'm frequently going between London and Lake Simcoe so I could also drop it off for free if you're along my route. I don't want to deal with shipping it, cash or etransfer only

It is, in fact, an 8 1/4. I was surprised when I saw it on the car but you can see by the diff cover in the second picture, it's definitely not a 9 1/4. I'm guessing using the smaller axle was part of Chrysler's weird weight reduction attempt for the '78 model year. This was from a 400 Lean Burn car too so it's not like it needed the beefiness of the 9 1/4
