Does anybody know overall width and spring perch dimensions for a 1957/1958 Plymouth? I've read an E body rear bolts in but no idea how accurate that info is!!! Thanks

Overall width drum-to-drum is 60 7/8" and the perches are 45 1/2".

An E-body rear will bolt in, even with the 1/2" difference in perches, but the pinion angle (6°) is wrong; the '65-'69 C-body is a better choice, same overall dimensions with the correct 3° pinion angle.

I just put the C-body rear in my '57 Dodge and it fits perfectly.

Moved the perches one inch? I have a 66/67 B body rear, looks to be exactly what I need for tire fit, and I have Wilwoods for the back already. Not going the tapered axle/ old style drums, that's for sure!!

What wheel/tire combo are you running?? Did you go with an A body rear spring or?
