Would one of you fine people with a bare 8 3/4 or Dana 60 housing and the means to measure the axle bearing bore diameter, measure it and provide the info to me?

Thanks!

2.875" for 8 3/4" axle, even though the photo shows 0.001 less.

Might depend on the application. Bigger cars and trucks used wider brakes and sometimes the engineers used more offset rather than a deeper draw on the backing plate.

By "offset" do you mean "standout", the distance from the housing end to the outside of the axle flange?

The 5 x 4 1/2" axle flange standout (measured from housing end, NOT brake backing plate) 2.525"
