Doc's info is correct, a pocket calculator needs a brain to work correctly....sorry for the wrong info.

Because of a step down in diameter near the splined end of the axle shaft, 28" is the accepted maximum length for shortening/resplining most axles and a 31" axle with minimum step down is needed but a rare few don't have a long step down and might finish out to 28.4"

IIRC the bearings/axles between the 62/64 rear axle and the bearings/axles from a 65 and newer rear axle are not interchangeable.


I am truckless..

1965 and newer wheel bearings will not fit your original axles. In addition, you can not reuse your original brakes or inner seals if you convert to 1-piece axles.
