Rear axle measurement HELP! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought a rebuilt rearend out of a 67 2wd and went to take some measurements for disc brakes and discovered that the offset between the flange and the face of the plate is 1.75 inches. I was told that this should be more like 2.8 inches. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

You may have been give the measurements for the 70 & later model rear ends. The are around 3/4" - 1" more on each side. Other than that I don't have any answer for you.

I think the difference on those is from flange to flange?? The measurement from flange to plate should be the same on all of them??

You are probably right, but that was all I can remember. Sorry that didn't help.
