In the moparts archives for rear axles. Under "Axle lengths 8.75" shows 4 different lengths of housings for 62-70B's. Flange to flange. Under "Rear axles widths" the chart shows a 55" flange to flange housing for all 62-70B's. Soooooooooooo

little confusing one of the charts has the wrong measurements,not sure what or which I have a housing thats 55" and IIRC it came out of a 67 polara which is a c-body but I have been told it an e-body also it has 30" axles I have not figured any of the 4 housing I have by the charts..I know what they came from but does not match any of the charts as far as I can tell my 72 truck housing is same as a 73 c-body Iknow my A-body housing but this 67 housing has me stumped...not sure if it really was a 67 polara or what I would give DoctorDiff a call to be sure

there is 1 area in there that is wrong (& has been for awhile) and from what I understand whoever is in charge of it has not corrected it and that several members have been led astray (& lost time/money) because of it. iirc it was the "16" or "17". I just remem it was one of those #'s. Sorry that's all I can provide (but it'll bump you btt)

The info in 16 is correct, the text info in 17 is mostly correct but the graphic is in error in several places as is the PDF file above.

There's a lot of bogus info out there, as you've discovered. I don't know why it can't be fixed. I can verify these B housings from ones I've measured personally and still have. B housing width: '64 = 55 5/8" '66-'67= 54 1/4" I copied/pasted these from this page: http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/axle/16.html but took out '65 because I've never measured one. The overall width is axle+axle+1.5" and for 4.5" bolt circle overall is about 5" more than the housing width.

Wow thanks for all the responce. I'm not really doing anything right now. Was just wondering if the 65B was a one year only unit. Think I'll do some checking for myself. Have a 64, 65, 66 and 68 rear ends. I also found what I think are some errors in the "rear axle spotters guide" under axle id as to what units came in what years and models. Still has alot of good info.
