The wheels are 15X10 with 5.5" B/S. I looked at some old notes I have and it looks like my rear axle is 47" from axle flange to axle flange.

I could make you a set of outer bearing spacers. I'd have to sell them with a set of bearings because I hone the inner diameter of the spacer after it is pressed into the bearing.

I remember this car from a car show in Candor this 4th of July!! We talked for a while. I had the LSA Red 1968 Camaro. I have read this build before and didn't make the connection until today. I've seen it in person and he did a knock out job.
