Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | Apparently some variations in printed literature exists. I have used these numbers for a very long time without much disagreement.
If anyone has an assembled axle on the floor perhaps they could take a couple of measurements.
Housing widths, flange to flange
A BODY '66-'72= 52 5/8"
B BODY '62-'63= 53 1/4" (And '64 Max Wedge)
'64 = 55 5/8" (Exc. Max Wedge)
'65-'67= 54 1/4"'
68-'70= 54 15/16"'
71-'74= 57 7/8"'
71-'73 wagon= 59 7/16"
C BODY '65-'69= 56 3/4"'
70-'71= 57 7/8" (Chrysler & Fury)
'70-'74= 59 7/16" (and '69 wagon)
IMPERIAL '65-'66= 57"'
67-'69= 57 3/8"'
70-'71= 54 3/4"'
72-'73= 59 5/8"
E BODY '70-'74= 56 31/64"
A100 '65-'70= 56 3/4"
D100 '65-'71= 58 5/16"'
72-'74= 59 7/16

Location: Netherlands | I recently narrowed a C-body housing to A-body width and using new axles.
I have a few rear ends I can take measurements off.

Location: NorCal | As usual, like most rear end dimensions published on the web, those in the OP are wrong.

Location: Netherlands | I've gathered a fair number of rear axle housing and axle measurements on my website as a reference. Gathered them from various sites and tried to weed out the wrong info, but I don't know if the info I have listed is still correct.
If anyone sees anything wrong I would gladly ike to hear about it and make sure the info is correct.

Location: Chestertown, NY ( near Lake George) | Drum to drum means outer edge of drum?, none of the dimensions match what I posted, of course the methodology is different. |

Location: Netherlands | Measuring dimensions 'exactly' with a tape-measure is pretty much impossible if the 3rd member is still installed in the housing. This alone could give over .5" differences I guess.

Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | The easy way to measure when working alone:
Remove drums; clamp a bar against the face of each flange that will project beyond the usual obstructions;
hook your tape to one of the bars and measure to the inside of the other bar then SUBTRACT the thickness of the first bar. |

The dimensions noted by wayfarer and BBMopar are correct, I know because I compiled them and posted them for the Moparts site years ago. |
