This is what we THINK we've found out..... lol
79" total rear body width. I can get away with 76" outside of tire to outside of tire.
With a 295/65/15 on a 15x10 rim with 3 1/2" backspace we figure we need a rear end 59 1/4" overall width.
Springs are 43 1/2" center to center apart.
A 1966/1967 B body rear end is 59 1/2" overall width and 44" spring centers......
Hmmmmmm
I'll just have to split the inner can on the bed and move the inner to the next raised bed section, about 3 1/2" inches inboard, toss a strip in and make it pretty and nobody should be able to tell we monkeyed around....
An 8 3/4 is .65" longer center of axles to center of u joint, and my driveshaft looks a wee bit short anyways, the swap will probably HELP?! lol

the 72-74 truck 8 3/4 housing is 59" outside to outside bearing cup.
same as 73-74 c-body 8 3/4 housing.
I have a 67 c-body Polara 8 3/4 housing with a 55.5" housing 46" perch center and a set of 30" axles. it may be close to the 59 1/4 over all width your measurements come up with.
I will throw a tape on a set of stock 8 3/4 truck axles in the housing for a over all width measurement.
I wager the 67 c-body housing is going to be real close. I came up with a 325/15/15 on a 10x15 with 3.5 bs when I did my measuring. BUT I did measure for the B-body housing and was very close to same measurements = I already have the 67 c-body housing,
if you look at pics of my tubs you can see I moved over to the floor/frame bracket. tubs flush with outside frame rails. did my stepside over to the floor/frame mount same way.
that would be best IMHO.
I think the inner factory tub will be going to the frame rail for sure, just in case I try something bigger.... we have spare 21.50/33/15s..... lol You never know... Moving springs aint too hard for us. I was planning on 325/50/15s on 15x10 with a 3.5" backspace! But I came up with 66/67 B body rear. I have a 68 C body 8 3/4 available next weekend, we are parting out a 1968 300.....

that 68 c-body is same width as a stock truck rearend.
I have seen/used a 10x15 rim with 7.5 bs and just split the tubs with a fill panel.
does not have the deep dish look to the rim but fits them in there nicely with no work other than tubs.
Moser can cut them down cheaply enough, about 40 bone to and from and my last cut down was 65 bones.
I am sending in another to cut down to A-body specs with large offset axles/brakes.
325/50/15 = 29x15x15 M/T sportsman/sportsman pro/sportsman SR radials
same as the old N50-15
thanks Kenworth Goose, love to see that truck. that's a lot of tire.

I dont think my 1964 D100 is a Pro street, but I did modify the box with big tubs to fit 16 inch tires. The springs are in stock location on outside of the frame.
