Stock width for 1955 rear end

[ricott]

As the title says, I'm looking for the "face plate-to-face plate" width of a 1955 (Second design) Chevy pickup rear end. I just purchased one of these trucks (haven't taken delivery - in another state) and I have a Chevy Blazer 4X4 rear end (59.5 inches wide) that I can either sell this weekend to a friend or use under this truck if the width is right. The rear end I have is a Posi/3:52 with disk brakes and low milage - Ideal for this low budgert rebuild I envision for this truck. I searched but could not find info on the stock width. Thanks for any information.
