It is Uncle Tony's Garage, his latest video. Discusses the 'Dana 53' option for 67-68 cars.

I knew this. A Dana 53 rear for 4 speed C Bodies in 67 & 68 was standard equipment.

I knew this too. In fact, I remember there was a company pushing these as an economical and lighter alternative to the Dana 60 for drag cars.

And here's the video...

It's been discussed on this board several times by the long time Mopar die hards..
I however can't retain that stuff.

Thanks for re-posting the video @Big_John. First time I clicked on the video, the screen went black and said "! Not Available", as it has done every time, including today, yet in @Big_John re-posting it, everything acted normal. BTAIM

Interesting stuff.

Thanks,

No. Only on the 440 cars, 383s got the 8-3/4".

That’s what I meant to say.

 

[polara71]

That's what I heard you say

I credit this forum for my knowledge of this "little known fact" about the Dana 53.

That’s what I meant to say.

Figured so, but just wanted it fully correct for any future readers.
