Hi Tom,
I don't own a TF so I can't speak directly to your question, but I will
suggest that it might be a little more complicated...
What wheels and tires are you planning to use? You want to make sure your
tires fit between the inner and outer fenders, and the offset of your
wheels, coupled with the width of the axle are what will determine if the
ones you have will fit or not.
But if you are running stock type wheels, and stock size tires, I'd be
willing to bet that a 62" wide axle will work just fine.

Subject: [oletrucks] 55tf rearend confusion
I have talked to many on the list and read Jim Forbes article about
rear-ends that will work for a 55 2nd TF. Everything i am hearing and
reading says I need a rearend with 61" from outside brake hub to outside
brake hub.
However i measured the original rear-end that is in the truck now and it
measures 62" Is the 61" a better fit or will a 62" rear-end work too?
Thanks, I just wanna make sure I get the correct rear-end.,
