Will the rear axle fit?


It would help if it were right! Too bad most of those measurements are wrong!!!!!!!!

Worst chart ever. It always gets posted, it always gets flamed, and for some reason it keeps getting posted. It's wrong about most of the important measurements. A-body 8 3/4's? Wrong. B-body 8 3/4's? Wrong. Technically wrong about E body 8 3/4's, although it's only off by 1/64". But it's wildly inaccurate on the B body axles. Like listed one width for 62-70. There's 4 different width's for B body axles in that span, and none of them are 55". Here's an accurate list. I've personally confirmed the A, B, E, most of the C, and even one of the D100 measurements myself (although it wasn't originally my list). Also, using the flange to flange width doesn't tell the whole story, because on the SBP A-body 8 3/4 the drum to drum width doesn't change by the same amount because of the SBP brakes being a different offset.

For the OP, BBP 7.25 and 8.25" axles are 51.5" flange to flange. I measured the 7.25" axle myself, and confirmed with another member the 8.25's are the same.
