If you use a waggy front and convert to 8 lug, it will widen it 1.5 IIRC, which is wider than what you want.

What I've done is get a pass. side axle shaft out of a Waggy. It's 4" shorter than the GMC axle shaft. I'm going to shorten the long side tube 4" at the "C". That will get me close to what I want. From reading up a little more, it should get me down to 62.5". It may actually be wider than that since as you say, the 8 lug hubs may add some width too. I can mock it up first and see if it's going to be ok.
As far as the rear goes, I may shorten the shafts and the tubes myself. I still want to explore the idea of shortening them at the hub flange and rewelding them. Rick
