Re: 1954 3800 Rear axle

I'd say Weim55 is absolutely correct, the 14 bolt rears are 73 and up though that square body style. Different pages say different things on width but the narrowest I can find is 63 and there is no info on what that comes out of. Most seem to be 65 wms to wms. I did find that some of the width is controlled by the hubs and not the actual axle housing width. Still big and heavy for a truck that probably isn't going to do serious hauling or serous work.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
