Re: rear end decision-CL finds locally

OK, I stand corrected on my post yesterday. The earlier 14 bolt axle tubes do measure 3.375" in diameter, and when measured at the angle that the trailing arms and mount are, they measure 3.5". So with the center to center measurement of the U-bolt holes in the trailing arms and mounts of 4.250", the .750" diameter U-bolts will just fit.

With a 3.5" dimeter axle tube, the angle measurement will be aprox 3.625" which will make installing .750" diameter U-bolts very difficult.
