how much more narrow are the 67-70 rear ends?

Just need the overall length hub to hub. Difference from the 71-72 rear ends.

Re: how much more narrow are the 67-70 rear ends?

Actually, aren't the '70 rearends the same as the '71-2? I have always understood that the '60-69 are the same width.

I have an interchange book, but it's not where I am.

Yep, my '70 has the wider rear end. I have a 71 or 72 donor rear and I'm just going to swap the 5 lug axles to my 70 rear.
