Jim,
Somebody on moparts.com found and posted this link on their forum. If you would have followed up on the idea, maybe you could have retired a long time ago! :p;)

Steve,

It appears to be a fabricated housing that gets welded over the 8 3/4" pumpkin that allows you to bolt a Dana 60 cover to it. The reason I found it funny and brought it to Jim's attention is that years ago he actually strapped a Dana 60 cover on his 8 3/4" equipped SS/KA Demon while racing.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, that doesn't always mean it is a duck!

Quack! The short story is, after being told how much I needed a dana 60 in my car by almost everyone who bothered to look to see what rear I had in the car, I wired a chrome dana 60 cover on the back of the 8 3/4 mopar rear. Most people who looked after that thought I had a dana in the car and I didn't have to hear their suggestions anymore! The only problem came one race when upon initial launch on a qualifying pass the cover fell off, bolts, nuts, wire and all, baffling several guys who were standing on the line. No grease! Jim

P.S. Myron, I have a small block at the machine shop as we speak.
