Stock A body axles ONLY A body backing plates will work . A bodies use a 1.75" wide shoe and the offset of the axle is 1/4" shallower.

The axles have to match the drums and brakes backing plates and shoes You can't use a B or E body axles in a A body haousing with A body brakes and drums Same thing on mixing the A body axles with B or E body brakes and drums I had Strange make me a specail set of axles (35 Splines) to fit my A body Diuster so I could keep the lighter brakes and rums on the rear, the axle bearing spacing is different between the B,E,and C body versus the A body only spacing Leave it to the engineers to make things difficult The A body rear shoes and drums are 1 3/4wide x 10 inches diameter
