1963 Chevy Truck Short Bed Rear end Width

I purchased a 1963 Short bed Chevy truck wich had a home made rear suspension set up and a harvester international rear end. I would like to know what the stock width of the rear end should be from the wheel mount to wheel mount? If anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Looking for a stock rear end or are you looking to narrow one to fit?

I am just looking for the stock dimensions as a starting point so that I can locate a rear end at a junkyard or have a custom rear end built to match the correct width.
