i dont think its that great of a deal unless you are looking to keep the 5x4 bp.

I need the center section, not a housing. Looking for a Sure Grip pumpkin, I'm getting "sticker shock". I had no idea that were $500+ just for a used SG rear.

What do the numbers mean that he's pointing to with the pen? Anyone know??

i guess you mean to redrill the axles and drums, you then still have the skinny a body brakes, hard to find drums, redrilled axles with the lugs near the outside edges of the axles and the rims wont be hubcentric if i remember right, and that old original housing can be tweaked. you would be money way ahead if you buy a c body housing and have it narrowed on a jig for 100-150 and have the axles resplined, but i guess some people are looking to keep the small bolt pattern. i have a drum to drum a body 8 3/4 that i couldnt get 650 complete with a 3.55 sure grip, so its going in my 31 essex. 10 years ago i would have been pissed to hear some one did such a thing because i couldnt find an a body housing when i wanted one, they seemed like the needle in the haystack. i went dana instead.

hum  that's what i did on my valiant   drilled them out  and used over the  counter wider drums and pads....and it's held up awesome for the past five years.....but   ya just giving options  right ..in this ever so harder n harder to find old  mopar parts world   ...31 essex  sounds like some fun
