Does anyone know if a 1971 Monte Carlo rearend is the same width as a 1971 Chevelle, I've looked online but have failed to find anything so I decided to ask the experts...

thanks, Jeff

That is correct '68-'72 A Body cars are the same width.

Thanks Wil, I picked it up off craigslist yesterday, a non-posi unit but plan to change the brackets over to 1st gen camaro for my project. Next will be 30 spline axels, diff and gear selection..thinking 3.73..running a Muncie 4 speed and 335/30's..any thoughts.

And if you want a narrower housing look for a 64-67 A body. My 70 MC would rub with Corvette 8" ralleys 4 " back space, but fit perfect with older rear diff!
