Just wondering, are 1968-1972 rear axle widths all the same? Thinking of changing my wheel set up again. My car has a rebuilt 10-Bolt BOP with 3:42 Gears and Posi. Not sure what year exactly.
The rear in the picture is a 71-72 8.5” 10-bolt. Yes.ALL of the A-body rears were the same width for 68-72. The BOP rears also had that same wider width for 66-67. Chevy didn’t start until 1968.
Ditto. 60 " for early rears and 61" for later a body rears Be careful swapping the 8.5 rear out...YOU will need drive shaft length mods depending on if your installing or removing and replacing with anything other than 8.5. I know your know changing the rear you have...Just getting the info out ...just in case it is needed. JIm JD
Brian, How many more of those RW507GR bearings do you have...I sent another person to you. Let me know when your out I will stop....LOL;
I still have some. It’s been quiet since September,but just this week,I’ve had 3 different people inquire for those bearings.
I see you have rear disc brakes. That will add a little more overall width because the rotor hats are thicker than drums,so that will also allow you to get a little more backspace to bring the wheel back in,under the car.
