Did the rear axle come come from Justin?

Now thats funny chit! Actually from what I can tell the rear is out of a truck. Its a 12 bolt with a 5 on 5 pattern. I couldn't find any serial numbers but if memory serves me it is 63"?
Back when I first got started on the project I looked around for something a little more narrow but couldn't find anything with 3:73's to match up with my 292/ 700 r4. Most of the junk yards here in NJ are either closed or they want an arm and a leg for parts. I just figured i would tuck the wheels a little more and call it done.
