I have one sitting in my shop and would be happy to measure it for you tonight. What do you want, wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface or inside of backing plate to inside of backing plate?
I know it's a little on the wide side, compared to a 40 rear.

The '39-40 are a couple inches narrower than the '41-'48's.

Ok, I measured it for you tonight. Wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface is about 62 inches. Backing plate inside to backing plate inside is 53 inches. Hope this helps.
Frankly I was surprised it was as wide as that, but I knew it was wider than the other rear assemblies I have in the shop like 8 and 9 inch Ford and S10's.
