Hello, I have a 59 Apache 3/4 ton and want to change the rearend to a GM 10 or 12 bolt. I am trying to find a rear with the same width, around 63 1/2 "
I understand I will need to weld spring plates, I am more concerned with drum to drum size.
Any suggestions on what vehicle to get the rear end from would be great.

thanks

Early 80's Blazer is very close. I have one in my 52 and overall it is only 1 1/8" wider than the original.
