this is for a 59 apache 1/2 ton, stock 10 bolt rear....any help would be great...
spring pad width?
Spring pad angle?
Pinion angle?
Axle tube width?
i found out from doing some research that the rear is 57" long, i told him that was the tube length from end to end.
thanks for any info/help

Whats it out of ? That makes a difference.
Its my understanding that a 10 bolt from a 4x4 S10 will fit nicely with little modification.
Fender to fender on the rear of the bed is 76” on the outside. The frame is 34” wide so 57" will drop you 4" from the bed panel and 10" from the fender inside, not good. I dealy you need to have a rear at 60" - 62". unless you tub the bed and run some big tires then 57 is fine.

i am more trying to figure out what is on the truck now, it is a hr away and i am having a hard time getting to it, i have a guy that is going to build me a rear but needs some answers. if i can get to the truck soon i can hopefully get all the info he needs but was hoping for someone that had the info on what came stock.
thanks for the info you provided, i will forward it to him.

3 degree angle up on the pinion +/- 1*
62.5" drum to drum is the stock width
42" center to center on the spring pads.
55.5" from inside of the backing plate to inside of backing plate
