I have nothing to measure. There is only a frame and body. I bought a rear axle with a 60 1/2 width, just need to figure out the front.
If you know the style of wheel and tire you are going to use, you can place them where you want them under the fenders and that would give you a rough idea as to the axle width you need. Sorry about the smart***ed reply, I quit smoking yesterday and ain't quite right yet.
I have to agree with y-oh-y in that if you are going to run front fenders you need to figure out exactly where you want the front tires to set in relation to the fenders and then figure out what the mounting surface to mounting surface between them is and go from there.
Most factory vehicles have the rear track width slightly narrower than the front. The engineering logic is that the rear " follows" the front thru the corner better with a narrower track. Dave
So, I have to bring this up so I can get a answer. I am looking for the front track width on my 1937 Dodge 1/2 ton truck.
I did not have any front end parts to look at or measure. I would be happy if it were 58", I am looking at one that is 59", I can take up the extra with wheel spacing.
Well I guess I ment did Dodge put the wavy tube under trucks in 1937. And the more I'm thinking about, I'm remembering more. The wavy tube axle with ford spindles and disk brakes ends up 4" over my 56" WMS axle. So that does make it 60 in that configuration.
Sounds like it will fit quite nice. 31vickey I might have to stop in and say thanks some day when I am on a road trip. My daughter smiled on Friday when she parked at the top of my 700 ft 23% grade drive way with the jeep you helped me with, she even had to go back down and get my wife with a Quattro.
