When putting together this tech tip
http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/bigbolts/p30swap/I measured a 48 2 ton front axle at 69-70" I'll double check this evening and should be able to get a more accurate measurement too. Perhaps I measured, remembered, or wrote it down wrong, what measurements do other folks get?
