Thats wheel to wheel. If you dont mind me asking-What is the width of the rear axle and the front axle? I need the measurement from one end of the break drum to the other end, and shouldnt the front length be the same as the back? Please help me out..thanks | | |

Check it out:
1946 Chevy ½ ton truck= 115 inch wheel base, rear track width 59and 1/4inch or 60 and 3/8 inch, Front track width 57 and 21/32 inch or 56 and 9/16 inch.
1997 Dodge Dakota truck reg. cab=112 inch wheel base, Rear track width is 61.5 inches or 62.5 inches, and front track width is 60.8 or 61.5 inches.
1982-2004 Chevy s-10 wheel base is 118 inches for the fleetside standard cab longbed, but the track width is 47. 5- 49 inches. | | |

1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
