I plan on putting the 9" back in next week, so I will take some photos while I'm installing it. I will also take the measurements of the rear, and post them. I did the rear 4 years ago, and forgot the measurement. I believe it is 63.5" from rotor to rotor. My stock vette rims fit, like it did from the factory, but i had 8" Weld Wheel on it. I can go a little wider on the rims, but I had them already.

Hi Pipe. He'res a picture of the other side showing the panhard bar mounting using the batwing mount. I am running 10X15 Welds with 6.5" backspacing. This is what I ran when I had a Dana 44 also. I'll have to look to see if the stock upper shock mount was used (it's been a few years). With the torque arm, only a lower control arm is needed, not 2 like in a 4 link.
