So...please measure from backing plate to backing plate....this will help determine
Wow! How I messed that up, I need to know if it is a Dana rear or a HO35. When buying bearings for the rear axles and diff carrier I get lots of options regarding Dana rear ends and HO33,35. I am not sure what one I have?

Thanks
