Re: The other guy 1967-72 c50 axle swap

So I did a little measuring last night, granted it was dark since I knew I had to leave early, but these are the measurements I got for reference sake. Mind you, this is on a 1967 C-50 Chassis with 2.5" leaf springs so YMMV:

Starting from the front, working to the rear:

Behind front leaf hangers: 33-1/4"
In Front of Axle Spring Perch (pictured): 34-1/8"
Behind Axle Spring Perch (pictured): 34-3/8"
In front of rear Leaf Hanger: 35-3/4"

Spring perch itself (not actual axle mating surface but above it) ~4"
Outer Frame width above Front Spring Hangers: 30-1/8"
Outer Frame Width above rear Hanger (and rest of frame): 34"
