Sorry guys....just thought I'd ask for measurements. I have done axles before with the install and center up method before....I totally understand what your saying. But if a factory can do it before hand....why can't i? Every 1972 factory axle was the same....right? So why can't I just duplicate a factory axle....(which I don't have...hence my question) If u don't have the measurements....please move on. Just thought maybe I could start a thread with factory numbers for these things. Sorry if I sound pissy.....just spend hours googling these things and I can't seem to find anything. Even if this isn't the correct way to do it....I thought maybe I could come up with info to verify what a mock up would be. I really do appreciate all the help.
