B Body 8 3/4 year ID?

[Mopar92]

I bought a stripped B body axle recently for my Duster project. I'm trying to locate the proper brake lines for it. After trying to figure out what year I have, I gave up on google. Is there a way to tell what I have? Also, I was told they were 11x2", not 2.5. The drums back that up as well. What B bodies came with 2" drums? I'm learning a lot here. Thanks guys.

Hi and welcome aboard!
Thank you for joining the forum.

Yes, there are I.D. stampings on your axel housing.

Some research will help you ID it.

it's missing the 3rd member. Is there a marking on the axle itself? I'll have to dig through the crust I guess. Well, it's actually not too bad. Thank You.

Measure your spring perch width and backing plate to backing plate width.

The chart on this site's "Brakes, Suspension, Rims and Tires" page is more concise and accurate than most others.

A lot of the factory hot rods of the day came with 11" brakes while the cars with disc brakes came with 10" rear drums. Like mentioned above, measuring the housing length and spring pad width is a good indication of what it came out of. If you want to order lines, you tell the supplier what you have and what brakes you will use to get the correct length lines. They don't vary much tho....

But 2" wide drums vs 2.5"?
