Wheel fit looks spot-on

Wide or narrow rear axle?

I'm not sure. What is the width of each? I will measure and post which one. The fitment is spot on.

67-early 70 = 56" wide
Late 70-72 = 57.5" wide

Yours is a 67 cab on a 71 chassis, correct? That should be the wider axle. The narrow axles are the mid-70 and earlier, which are 3/4" shorter per side and originally 6-lug. Conversion axles are available aftermarket to make them 5-lug. There are wide 6-luggers too, but were 70 only and a bit rare...

Mine is 65" to the outside of the brake drums. I don't know where I was supposed to measure from to get the ones listed above.
