I need a rear axle hub measurement!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Hart_Rod** · 02-05-2010, 01:13 PM

I need the following measurement for the rear axle hub (see picture). The measurement should be at the wheel mounting surface. Mine measures 3.09" (71/72). I need these for 71/72 hubs and 73-87 hubs. Please post both if you have them. I need as many responses to this as I can get to determine the variances, so please don't stop replying.

Thanks in advance.

Rob, I'll get you some numbers for the 71-72 by this afternoon & can cross check against my 74 once I get home this evening. I'll post up the info asap.

I got 3.06" on mine (both). The 74's hubs are OE/stock; the hubs on the 68 housing are Moser axles if that makes a difference to you. I was going to measure the 71/72 rear end but remembered it also has Moser axles.

Hope this helps.... Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks Scotti. Now all I need a measurement from a stock 71/72 axle.

I have a stock '72. I measured 3-1/16" diameter

Are you measuring at the base or at the outer most part?

dfwright · 02-07-2010, 07:52 PM

I measured at the outermost part. There's a little bump in diameter right at the base. Did you want the thicker measurement?

That's correct, sorry I wasn't clear. Thanks DFW.

dfwright · 02-07-2010, 08:32 PM

Ok, so I measure a total of 3-3/32" at the base

gcburdic · 02-08-2010, 09:46 AM

Oops...outer most part here too....I'll check it again tonight

Geoff did you every get the measurement?

gcburdic · 02-10-2010, 11:15 PM

Crap...i didn't...excuse my ignorance, but what would be the best way to measure at the base??...Was thinking about wrapping a string around it then calculating it out using the circumference equation

...I know...I'm such a dorky engineer!!!
