Odd Request, but I'm looking for a measurement

Hey there everyone....

I have an interesting dilemma that I'm wondering if someone in this forum may be able to help me. The background is that I have a 1930 Chevy AD that I'm getting ready to do some work on... (my 2010 project). I have been reading some other forums, and have heard that the 1947-1954 Chevy truck solid front axle can be used to replace the 1930's front axle. The added benefit is that you can buy a 3" dropped truck axle from CPP for the trucks, and I can keep my 6 lug set up. (You can't find a lot online for a 1930 Chevy.)

I was hoping that someone that still has the solid front axle can take some measurements for me. I'm looking for three measurements if possible:

1) The width of the axle, center of kingpin to center of kingpin.

2) The width of the spring perches, inner to inner.

3) Track width, measured from the outside of the drum to the outside of the drum.

Thanks everyone that can help me out with this, I really appreciate it!
