rear end difference
does anyone know the differences in the gap between the mounting pads on a 1960 to 62 rear end and a 63 to 72 rear end? I am trying out figure out the space difference.

Re: rear end difference
Space is an issue but the angle of the mount could also be an issue

Re: rear end difference
There also at an angle so at what point would the gap be measured?

Re: rear end difference
correct. I know the length of the trailing arm (the are the same.) so if I can get the gap from the backside of the mounting pad or the ends of the 2 trailing arms I can figure out the different angles. which is ultimately my goal. I have a 60 so I need the gaps on a 63 to 72.

Re: rear end difference
I really don't understand what this 'gap' is that you are talking about.

Re: rear end difference
either the gap between the 2 mounting pads on the rear end, or the gap between the rear end of the trailing arms either one will work.
the gap between the front mounting points of the trailing arms would be great but I can figure that out if I need to. |

Re: rear end difference
thanks, but what I need is the measurements I have the length of the trailing arm, I have the gap of a 60 to 62 I need the gap of a 63 to 72 so I can explain the different angles of the separate years
