do you know if the front is the same? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 87 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 87 | 62 is wider than i was expecting
was thinking 55-57 | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | Tire centers is going to be real close to the same as hub face to hub face. I don't have an actual measurement at hand, but the 62 inches is about what I would expect.
The front is narrower.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 87 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 87 | ok guys thanks was looking at an axle swap but couldnt get to my truck | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | An easy swap for the rear is a late 70s-early 80s Camaro 10 bolt. I understand the 12 bolt GM will work as well. Measurement is 62 inches on my 51.
