Axle length

Brad, are you measuring at the backing plates, if so there are too many variables, drum width, wheel off set, etc?  A better measurement would be at the brake drum wheel-mounting surface, …. the explorer 8.8 is just under 60 inches at the drum face.

Ray...and others..this is a search for just an axle shaft...not entire rear assembly...Brad has wiped a bearing surface and damaged a stop collar on his original..his axle is 32 1/4 C10 sytle..it is a taper axle with a bearing stop collar and 10 spline count...

 

both left and right axles are the same...I was hoping my 50 axles here would help Brad but they are a tad too short and are for approx. 50--62 most applications, maybe even through the end of the taper axle run....in 64 my interchange book doe s not go beyond 62

...(across the line up 49 year was the most narrow of all the early axles)

parts book lists # 1118136 37-48 Plym, Dodge, Chrysler, DeSoto 32 1/4"

 

 

EDIT  46-48 C39 (8 cyl) different part #

Thanks Shel, just what I needed.  Well, besides the actual axle.  Another older tape measured 32-1/4"  and the other was just under so I'd say that's the measurement i need to go with
