John,
I took some measurements on a couple of w200s.
1. The rear axle, from the raised out rim of the backing to the same on the other side is @56"
2. the front axle in my 67 crew cab (1993 Dana 60) measures 59" from the edge of one dust shield to the other.
3. the front axle in my 67 w200 trucks with the stock HD 44 front axle measures 61 inches from the outer ridge on the backing plate to the other.
So, stock trucks = 5" difference,modified crew = 3"
Cheers,
Doug
