SCOTI - it has been so long since I got this rearend (about 11 years) I honestly do not remember what it was. I can tell you that I had it narrowed and it is now 56" wide (surface to surface). I wish I knew what it was...

I can't wait to see how this turns out. Great job so far.

Thanks kizer...I only showed the "good ones"

I thought it looked pretty short from the pic. Your housing ends are very close to the TA pads, where mine on the 68 housing are 2-3" (squinting eye estimation) farther away.

Yea, they are close. When I made the pads back then, I had to modify the rear outside corner of the pad to clear the caliper. The pads I made were taller and longer then the ones that I recently purchased from CPP to redo that part.

No new progress. Been working on other things around the house. I am to a point where I need a few things and money is nearly non-existant for this project. I hope to be back on it in a few weeks....
