Don;t have one here to measure, but as I recall, it's about 60"

Crosley.In.AZ · September 25, 2005, 04:07:09 PM

for some reason I am thinking 62 inches, disc to disc wheel bolt up surface.

but thinking gets me into trouble every time

That's an interesting hunk of information. I bookmarked it for future use for when I'm dreaming about building something instead of doing it. GPster

interesting but not particularly accurate

chevelle rears are not all the same from 64-77....
i kinda like my info to be "on"..
still, it's pretty good site...

ya know,i'm under a LOT of cars, would you guys want that kind of info?
i ONLY measure from wheel surfaces, who gives a crap about backing plate to backing plate....

Yes, accurate info is ggod.

Dirk35 · September 27, 2005, 03:11:54 PM

No idea on the Width, but I do know that I currently have a 91 Firebird and I can tell you that I used to have a 1983 Camaro Z28 that had a rear with 12 bolt POSI, disc Brakes with E-brakes, and 3:73 gear. My old car would totally kick this car's butt all over the place. I would search for a similar rear axel given the choice.

Hope that is of some Assistance.

I have an 86 Iroc, I'll try and get a measurement in the next day or so.

CalifCarl · September 27, 2005, 09:07:29 PM

OK I got a measurement through the wheels. The best I could do without popping the wheels off is somewhere between 62" and 62 1/2" hub face to hub face.
