As a past owner of a 71 Hemi Cuda (I miss that Car) if you had a Hemi and a
4speed you would get the Dana 60 - If you opted for the Hemi with an
Automatic you would get a 8 3/4 Mopar. The disc brakes were only up front.

Hi Chuck,
A friend's 426" he had taken it out because it had spun a bearing
and replaced with 318 and then sold the Barracuda, twenty five years
ago, and stored it until he salvaged this 55 Chevy Pickup and put it in
it about five years ago:

Cool, another untapped source for D60's... the wrecking yards are full of
Hemi Cuda's!
On a side note, I'm trying to track down some Superbirds - hack the wing off
and sell it to those wannabe's with the Craftsman Truck Series clones.
