Anybody know what the axle length is for 1968 Chevy 10 with factory 12 bolt 6lug rear

I am wondering what length the rear axles are in a 1968 Chevy C10 with factory 12 bolt and 6lug axles.

I want to order 5 lug axles so I need to know the factory length.

30 3/4" long if the rear end is original.....

If possible pull a current axle and measure it....

Dont forget new bearings, seals and cover gasket....

I have also just read that 30.5 is the length of 1968 Chevy C10 12 bolt axle. I guess I will just have to wait and pull the axle myself and measure the length.

I what wonder from where to where do you measure a axle?

Axles are measured from outer face of flange to overall end of axle where it fits in spider gears....
