Ok .... so what is that width of the front or rear or both? Is it 65", is it 68"?

I'm looking for a printed guide to the Dana HD 44 1971/72 that specs the WMS (wheel mounting surface) width. It would also be good to find a similar resource for the HO72 and HO52. I have an HO72 under my truck but I don't know what it came out of. It's not stock to my truck.

I guess I could try to get an accurate measurement from under the truck once we get out of this deep freeze we're having here.

I want to make the rear axle wider with spacers/adapters so it is the same width as the Dana 44, and need to know what thickness I'll need in the rear.

Thanks,
