Can anyone tell me the stock width of a 2nd gen rear end from end of housing to end of housing where the axles seal is?
Thanks
Thanks
Did you read my post? apparently not, take 5 seconds and re-read it.Did you try a search?? 5 seconds...This is WMS to WMS...that's the standard for measuring.

Rear end widths.
Since it comes up all of the time...here they are. 2wd 54.5" 4wd 59" ZR2 63"www.s10forum.com
I'm guessing you don't have one at present. Is this for a non S10 project?Hahaha. It is a 2wd
Haha indeed. Insufficient input generally yields inconclusive output.Hahaha. It is a 2wd
Whatever dudeHaha indeed. Insufficient input generally yields inconclusive output.
I have one that I'm using in my S10 but I already narrowed it.I'm guessing you don't have one at present. Is this for a non S10 project?
How about a plumb bob on each end and measure between the lines...I've got one out sitting on a cart in my barn, but it's below zero out there. If we get that 30° heat wave Tuesday I'll give it a go. Problem is with the backing plates bolted on you can't lay a level across each face to measure and the pumpkin makes measuring directly impossible. Might be able to give you the dimension across the bottom. It should be real close. The only way to get a truly accurate measurement would be to pull the axles and stick your tape through the middle of the differential or pull both backing plates.
No, not even in 80° weather.
Hmm - sounds like an HP calculator that can handle indefinite state quadratic equations may be in order!Might be more accurate to measure WMS - WMS and then measure distance from that back to the end of the tube and do a little math. That's the only way I could get an accurate number on a big honkin' 14-bolt semi-floater, that pumpkin is huge.
Withdrawn.How accurate a measure meant are we looking for here? Is nearest 1/16" close enough or are you ordering custom axles and need one like 47.70986532" ? Or 47.7 or 47.71, or 47.710 ?
Doubt any us us have anything but a tape measure that long.
