Rear end axle change 1962

[Swed]

Hi guys,
Maybe I suck at searching and couldn't really find what I was looking for.
My idea is to change rear end axle on my 1962 stepside.
For the reason to get a better gear ratio, preferable 3.08 and 5 lug.
The truck is already with coil springs.

I found one rear end on CL from a 1986 Chevy truck for $150. Don't know the condition yet.

I'm wondering about the width on the current axle and the 1986 axle.
My truck is now on the other side of the pond for the export to Europe in 2 months so I can't measure.. Can someone be so kind to measure it?

I am aware of the different widths on the 60-62 from other models.

U think I can purchase the rear end and won't have too much headache to do the work? Or do you have other ideas what to use?
