    I have a chrysler rear end, later model.
    The numbers on the rear are:

    3723791

    30103 1

    0267 (That zero could be a 6 or an 8 also)

    Thanks in advance!

    a picture will help.
     
  3. could the last three digits of the first number be 741? if so its an 83/4 out form behind a small block car
    does the center section front or rear load?
    what measurement from either flange to flange or center of perch to center of perch?

    I would agree. It is probably the small pinion version of the 8 3/4". There were also 742 and 489 cases available. 742 and 489 cases are similar in strength while the 741 case is considered the weaker of the three, although I've never had a problem with my 741 case 8 3/4" behind my 440.

    "742" is short for 2070742 which is way way earlier than the 3723791 number on his rear housing.

    in case you don't know, mopar part numbers are sequential, so you can figure out roughly what year each part was first used, by looking at the first two digits of the part number.

    37xxxxx is from the mid-late 70s

    742 came out around 61. 489 came out around 69.

    3723791 came out around 74-75
