Need help on wheels from the 3/4 Ton Guys

I need to know the back spacing on a 73-87 OE 8-lug wheel. Anybody have one they can measure?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks!
