The only dumb Question ! 60-62 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*LowDown* · 07-19-2012, 11:26 AM

We've all heard it before , The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask.
I'm narrowing a disk limited slip that's at 65" hub to hub . The P-O put a different differential other than stock .Who knows what year truck it came out of ? I can't seem to find a definite size on any thread. My question is what is the hub to hub rearend measurement 60-62 out the box. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

c,k,10-20-30. chev or gmc
10 series does not have hubs on the rear . k series does have hubs on the frt as does c
20 and 30 series do have hubs on the rear with full floating axles
be a little more specific where your measures are coming from

Ron, I have a 61 c10 ,I just would like a end of drum to drum measurement. I'm more than likely taking 3 1/2" out of each side, that will put me at 58" . That should leave me plenty of room for playing with backspacing and wheel width. I just would like a idea of what the original from factory length was. Thank you, Ron .

Lowdown, I made a guick measurement by laying a tape measure across the tail end of the trailing arms, backing plate to backing plate was 56"
Hope this helps

The WMS to WMS of an original HO32 under a '60-'62 C10 is 62". It is the same for the '63 to early '70 12 bolt as well
