Here are the measurements to use, measure your track which is outside to outside of the flange on the backing plate, the pearch mount a a give away too. Even if you get a close measurement it should tell you what rearend you have, hope this helps

Please toss that chart in the trash it has NOTHING to do with the length of the rear. The track is the center of the tire tread to center of tire tread. wheel offset will monkey with that number.
This is an EXCELLENT source of information for housing, axle and total widths on 8.75's

If you want an A body length rear, it's 52 5/8" from flange to flange. If you are going BBP, longer standoff, take about .25" off each side or 52 1/8" to put it in the same place as the shorter sbp axle standoff.
Moser does a good job. Good chassis shops usually has the right tool to do the job.
My bad cracked, I put the wrong chart up, I have a couple of them saved, I was just trying to get him a quick reference to figure out what rearend he had.
