  1. Hi All,​
    I need the correct/exact measurement, center to center, for leaf spring perches on a 68 Coupe.​
    I've been given a good 8" rear from a 66-69 Fairlane (perfect width/wrong perches) and being that​
    my original 8" housing has been messed with/tortured, I can't trust the measurements from it.
    TIA,
    Gene​

43 inches center to center. you mill want to make sure the pads
are welded with the propper degree or the pinnion angle will
be wrong
