hey all, i have a buddy of mine that likes to do custom work and he wants to experiment with my car. he builds rears for custom cars over winter and works the farm during the summer. what i'm in need of is all the dimensions of the axle...i need the following:

spring perch to spring perch,
perch to backing plate,
end to end
center to end
backing plate to backing plate
panhard rod location
axle length
and any other dimensions you might have.

if you happen to know where i might find this info, send a link. i've googled and yahoo'd but cant find anything but end to end. thanks for your help.

I think all the external points on the rear diff are symmetrical, just the yoke is off center a bit. (i.e. the shock mount will be the same distance from the backing plates, the lca mounts the same distance from the backing plates, etc.)

Inside the diff, I don't know how they resolve the pinion riding on the ring gear, room for the center section, etc. with the yoke sitting 1" to the right, as far as those measurements go.
