Default Trailing Arm Length

Is it correct to assume that the length of the T/A as measured from front bushing bolt center to the spindle center was the same on 63's as it is on a 66?
Thanks guys.

I've always used 17.375" c/c with tire dia 27" for making trig calculations for toe alignment/shim-stack ('66 MY). Can't recall my source for this dim - however, believe it's accurate.

I asked this question a couple of years ago to help me calculate a new shim stack to correct a toe-out issue on a friends '67, and a member with a loose trailing arm made an accurate measurement and posted it... should be an easy search for threads started by me.
