Rear end diameter? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*screamin_c102* · 04-10-2005, 01:23 PM

Does anybody know the diameter of the axle tube on the 71-72 c10s?
I would assume the 67-70 tubes are the same diameter as well.

I am ordering the drop blocks and ubolts for the rear and they need the diameter so they can put the correct bend in the u-bolt.

Thanks............Bill

Keep in mind that the Ubolts set at an angle to the axle,making them a little bigger.
