Need measurement on AD bed please

I have a 53 AD truck- Im working on donor rear diff and could use a measurement please. I have an S10 frame (just for info)

I don't have a bed yet.

What I plan to do put some tape marks on my shop floor and put my desired wheel/tire combo within the tape marks and determine the rear end width.

So I need to know the measurement of the distance from the inside of the fender lip (where the outer side wall would scrub) to that same point on the other side. Or in other words, the maximum width of the differential with tires that would still fit inside the stock rear fenders.

Make sense? Any help would be appreciated

Re: Need measurement on AD bed please

The inside of the bed is 50" so if you set it at 51" or 52" to the inside of the tire you should be fine.
