I appreciate it.
sorry this is the first car I've ever built, I guess
my questions are stupid.
Let's see if I can give you a different perspective. Your original question (not stupid by my assessment) was asking for help finding a later rear that was dimensionally equivalent. I sent you a chart that has all that info. You then send back a comment that, giving you the benefit of the doubt, unintentionally says something like "what the f#@k good is that! I only get perch to perch dimensions and I'm not using leaf springs (like I'm supposed to know that?)!!" I can give you the info.........I can't comprehend it for you.

Now, strictly based on the info I gave you I can see that the rear in your truck is 60-62 inches wide. It's in there. There are around 20 different rears listed there that are that width or narrower (if you want to use wheels with more positive offset that have a "deeper" look you can use a narrower one). It's in there.

Lots of folks around here enjoy helping a newbie, sorta like passing the torch. Don't dump in your mess kit.
