8 1/4 Sure Grip Rear End Questions

Hey everyone, have a couple of questions on Mopar 8 ¼ rear ends.


I have a1988 D150 Shirt Box that I’m redoing and I’d like to find a 8 ¼ Sure Grip rearfor it, preferably pre 1984 with the smaller bolt pattern.

Any sure grip 8 1/4 should work as long as thesplines are the same....Right?


What type of vehicles should I be targeting to find a suregrip? Any way to tell besides the numbering code or jacking it up and spinningthe wheels?


Can a rear out of a Dakota be swapped in a Ram D150? I knowthe axle splines are different but are the close in width?


Any info would help! Thanks
