Street A bodies with springs moved into the rails

Have we answered the OP question? I was trying to let op know the width of an a body axle housing.
This is an A body discussion forum.

I thought I did in #18. At least as best I can at the moment.

The 8 3/4 he has should work, but it's not the same width as an A-body 8 3/4. Not sure if the measurement he gave is flange-to-flange or drum-to-drum. His 8 3/4 is either a couple inches wider or a couple inches narrower than a stock A-body 8 3/4, either way it's close enough to be compensated for.
