hmmmm. well, i have a 1968, and i have info in the GM specs for 1968, but they don't list the width anywhere. so, i would probably have to go out and measure my truck by hand before i could help you out. (but i will have to waiting until tomorrow when it is light outside!)

but if you are interested, these specs are for a 1968 C-10 pickup. they list the rear width of the truck, but not the axel. BTW, you can order a packet like this for free from chevy with this info in it (for your particular year).

good luck!

Go to a vendors website that sells replacement axles. The 67-69 are narrower than the 70-72, but I don't know the exact number.
