    Anyone have a 1955-7 rearend that they could measure the width for me ? I need the measurement from outside axle flange to outside axle flange where the wheel mounts. Much appreciated and thanks in advance, L B

    Same center section, but in 58 they went to coil springs and I'm not sure but I think they were wider rears.
