    The 7.5 yoke is shorter than the 8" which should work, otherwise I will have to shorten the driveshaft.

    Will the 8" rear accept the 7.5" yoke?


    Thanks

    If pinion shaft dia is the same as an 8" and the bearings fit from an 8" I would say try it,but I dont think they are.I am pretty sure the 7.5 utilizes smaller bearings on the pinion.Good luck.
