Does any one know off the top of their head the width of a 65 7 1/4 wms to wms? IIRC they are slightly wider than a 8 3/4 which is 57 1/4.
Thanks
 
Why are you having customs axles made for a 7 1/4 rear. If just to get the large bolt pattern, I think it would be cheaper to swap the complete rear axle assembly for a later LBP rear, either later 7 1/4 or 8 1/4.(cannot just swap axels). I have run the 7 1/4 rear for years in my race cars, but can't see spending the money for custom axles.
PS: I have a 3.91 SG, a 4.56 SG, and a 5.13 SG, 7 1/4 rears.

What is the length of each axle and what is the number of splines for a stock 7 1/4 rear end. Strange is asking this information that are going to build me a set of axles with a 5x4.5 bolt pattern. But they want this info. Any help would be appreciated.

I bet if you post a wanted ad for a 7 1/4 big bolt rear end you would get some offers that are very reasonable. If you weren't so far away I have one that I would take $75.00 for.

Overall length from drum mounting flange to end of axle is 29 inches.
From outside of axle bearing to end of axle is 26 1/4 inches.
25 splines at approx 1.080-1.090 dia.
Length of splines approx 1.850
