A Body Rear End Width 34 Dodge Bros. Truck

[khughesprime]

:thumbup: Alright-Goofie question. What is the width of A body rear ends? Other mopars? How do I measure? I now know that rear ends like the 7.25-8 3/4 are identified by the diameter of thier O(pinion?) rings but I don't know about width. I know someone with a 1934 Dodge Brothers truck and he needs a rear end the same size of his stock front. He is putting in a rebuilt \6 so he just needs a rear end that will fit. Any help appreciated. Thanks

if the chart didnt help, you can measure the
center of leaf to center of leaf =
backing plate to backing plate =

Thanks a lot guys! :thumbup: Thanks for your patience and understanding for a student of cars and Mopars. I could not get a better understanding unless you guys co-wrote rear ends for dummies. I got this book marked now.
