lonejacklarry Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 As noted above, I need the outside to outside dimension for my '54 C1B6. I guess the baseline measurement would be from left side mating surface to the right side mating surface. An aside: once you reach 70 years old (+ or -) you should not depend on memory for measurements Quote

WPVT Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 I have a C1-B6 1954 truck. I'd be happy to check for a dimension tomorrow. Can you be any more specific about what dimension you need ? ( Maybe it will be more obvious when I'm under the truck. ) Quote
lonejacklarry Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Posted October 13, 2020 Dimension "A" is what I need. Thanks very much. Quote
WPVT Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 Thanks for the clarification. I might not get back to you until this afternoon. Quote
lonejacklarry Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Posted October 13, 2020 That will be fine. Thanks very much. Quote
WPVT Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I've done my best to get the dimensions accurately. Not sure what degree of precision is needed. I'm probably within a half inch or less. I didn't remove the wheels, so I had to do a little math, but I was careful about it. The total width you are seeking is 62 1/2". Although the differential housing appears to be centered, or nearly so, the driveshaft is offset 1 1/4" from the centerline of the width I gave you. It's closer to the passenger side. I hope this is helpful to you. Are you trying to match up a replacement, or fabricating something like in your diagram ? Edited October 13, 2020 by WPVT Quote
lonejacklarry Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Posted October 13, 2020 I'm going to have a differential narrowed but I needed that measurement to get me close. Thanks very much. Quote
WPVT Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 Good luck ! Let me know if I can be of any further help. My truck appears to be pretty original and it's the same year and model as yours. Quote
