Correct Axle Width 57 Coronet

AceS Posted 2014-10-31 10:37 PM (#460722) Subject: Correct Axle Width 57 Coronet Veteran Posts: 281 Location: WA/USA I have picked up a new toy project that has had a newer 8-3/4 swapped into it. It is too wide, and I'm wondering if someone could tell me what the stock width was drum face to drum face?

All of the flange axle drop-in replacements are wider, with the '65-'69 C-body being the closest at 61 3/4". The widest is the '70-'73 C-body wagon at 64 3/8".

I'll be looking for something in that range then....
