I have a 1950 1/2 Ton pickup and the chassis I am using has a 1976 Cadillac Seville rear axle with disc brakes. How do I measure or find the axle width of this axle to compare with the known axle width of the original axle? Does anyone know these measurements or where I can find them? I know I can measure the axle I have. How does one do that and what are the points you measure from? Thanks!

Richie

You measure from axle flange to axle flange.(face of the rotor were the wheel bolts on)That rear work but the tire gets close to the inside wheel well with rally wheels.(i dont know what offset wheel you have) The caddy disc caliper's have preety crummy e-brakes so......maybe check them before you install it(very expensive to fix)
