Rear axle dimensions

Post by spl310 »

I'm sure that this is somewhere in the forum, but I missed it. Can someone give me a couple of dimensions on the rear axle? I need the outer hub to hub dimension as well as the center of the spring perch to center of spring perch. Thanks in advance!

No response because everyone expects YOU, of all our GURUS, to know or where to look it up.!
:lol: :lol: :roll:
AND, you surely have a rear axle to measure in your huge parts collection. :roll: :roll: :D :wink:

The stock axle is 48.5” wide from the outside of each drum on my 67.5 1600.

Can’t easily give you the other measurement now.

Hey Sid,
On my '67 - 1600, I measured 34 7/8" at the centers of the spring mounts located at the rear of the leaf springs, near the rear bumper.
Assuming the springs are mounted parallel to each other, I hope this measurement helps....
