Robert, the guy behind AD-Engineering says the ZR-2 rear is too wide, but at 6 inches I'd expect it to be just right. The Chevelle rear I have under my stock framed '55 1st Suburban is 62 inches and fits about right.

I expect to have an S-10 4x4 rear by the end of the week and will do some measuring of my own with that.

I plan to use it under a '54 GMC I'm building. One thought I've had is using the inner fender/inner panels from a Suburban or panel body to tub a pickup bed. Has anyone else tried that? Got any pictures of how it worked out?
