Hey Mike:
Below is a set of dimensions I took off two of my parts cars, one wire wheel
and one steel wheel. I don't remember what years they are, but I would think
the rods are the same over the years for each type of rear end. This is part of
a greater doc that lists some helpful info that you can only get when you have
a car already apart or have one you don't care if you tear apart, i.e. parts
cars.
Hope it helps.
