Ford 8.8! Will it work in a 74 scamp

Thats weird the 7 1/4 that came out of my barracuda was 55.5 or so inches, the 8 3/4 I swaped it out to is the same width as the 7 1/4 and the 8.8 explorer axle I have is about 59.75" So I guess its closer to 4 inches wider. Do they make different width a body axles? Ive delt with a bunch of explorer 8.8s and they are all the same basic widthm so it must be the a body axles that vary.

No offense intended here, just posting some facts. The widest Explorer 8.8 rear is 59.5" wide, most likely a small arc in the tape measure causing a 1/4" difference, not a big deal though. As for the 7 1/4, I don't know, all I know is that the 8 3/4 A-body housings standard measurment is 57 1/8" wide.
