Eaton HO52 axle tube width

Anyone know the witdth of the axle tubes on an Eaton HO52? I'd like to order some new spring perches today but I don't have the axle in front of me to measure it myself. Thanks.

Do you want the axle diameter? Or distance between the perches?

I need the axle diameter. I'm sticking this axle under a 1/2 ton truck and apparently the 3/4 ton it came from had the spring perches a little closer to the pumpkin.

Re: Eaton HO52 axle tube width

I guess I do need the distance between the perches as well, just to be sure. My frame is from a '71 k10. Anyone know the distance between the leaf spring perches on a 1/2 ton?

Re: Eaton HO52 axle tube width

My '72 K20 measures 40 1/8" on-center. Should be the same but probably better confirm it. Someone should chime in here.
