60-62 Rearend Measurement Needed

I have a 66 rearend I'm going to use under my 61. I need the measurement centre to centre of the trailing arm mount pads, as it is different from my 66 rear. TIA

Well, I just slid under my 62' with a tape measure and am not really sure exactly where to measure from, to get you exactly what you are looking for.

I doubt it is possible to get that measurement with the rear attached to the trailing arms, but thanks anyway !

Re: 60-62 Rearend Measurement Needed

So you need a measurement on the 66 rear end? When I did my swap I used my original rear end as a guide, ground off the saddles off of the new one ( a 1967 in my case ) and welded on new ones.

I have the original rear end housing from my '62 hanging out. I'll do my best to get the measurements you need. If I remember, the u-bolt holes are pretty rusted and wobbled out. So I'm not sure how accurate the measurement will be.
