Rearend width? Stock 53

I was wondering if anyone knew the stock width on a 53 1/2 ton. I would like to know the drum to drum measurement..

I just need to know this before I pull the trigger and buy this 8.8 to go back there.

I don't get the truck until tomorrow and the scrap yard said I need to pick the rearend up today as they will not be open tomorrow due to the storms we will be getting here...

By the way, you may not know about this site where they have the workshop manuals for these trucks online:

http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/

Those shop manuals have a wealth of info in them that will help you as you go along with your project.
