What is the exact measurement of the wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface on a 50 Chrysler rear end?

Yes, the flat surface that the wheel rests on.

the factory repair manual has the track for the rear for 1950 at 55 7/16....given that the tread (track) is the stated value and the wheels were centerline for the era....you should be able to rough it in with that figure.....else you will need to remove the wheels, use a square while on level surface and mark the floor at the flanges and measure the distance...

Kind of hoping that someone has a stock rear laying around that they could measure. Like an idiot I sold the 2 stock rears I had along with the 50 Newport I just got rid of.

sold the boat, kept the paddle....

Sold one of the boats, still working on the chopped 50 Chrysler with the S10 subframe that's getting the built slant six and 4 speed. Trying to decide on a stout rear end that will hold up to some severe abuse. Getting ready to either use the Art Morrison back half I have or just 4 link the stock frame before I run the hydraulics.

My 53 Windsor rearend measures 60 13/16" front face of brake drum to front face of brake drum(surface wheel sits against). spring perch's are 44 1/8 center to center.

Do you have any pics posted anywhere of your chop build on the 50?
