That shows all 62-70 B body 8-3/4 rears as the same width. Aren't 65-67 narrower? shruggy



i'm almost positive the 65-66 rears are an inch or so narrower than the 68-70 rears.
i know for a fact the 66 rear i installed in my 64 belvedere post car was an inch plus narrower on each side than the original keyed axle rear was. also, i believe the 64 rear is wider than the 62/63 rears, but i don't know by how much.
that chart has been around for years, and has been complained about being wrong for as many years as it has been out there.

I have an old Mopar Performance Chassis book. It still groups the axles as above (B Bodies '62 - '70). Leaf spring centre lines and axle widths (flange to flange) are the same as above. shruggy
