A 14 bolt from a Cab and Chassis truck is in the neighborhood of 63" wide.
I have one (measures 62.75") ready to swap into my 52 1 ton and see no major issues.
Even so.. the small things that need to be done are a whole lot simpler than narrowing a whole axle...
Narrowing seems very unnecessary when there are already narrow ones out there.

Have you checked out this thread about my plans yet??
