I'm thinking of putting an A-100 straight axle in my '64 330. I know the earlier styles are narrower than say the 70's ones but I don't have any to compare or measure. Does anyone know what the drum-drum measurement is on these vans? And do you think I will need to shorten the axle to look correct in my B-body.

Thanks, Pat.

Cool, I'm in the same predicament. Let me know what you find out.

I'm pretty sure you gotta narrow the axle to fit. I'm also pretty sure all A100 axles are the same length but I could be wrong. I'd love to straight axle my valiant but it handles too damn well!

I've got a 69 A108 axle with springs and 121 inch drums and it measures 63 inches from wheel mating surface on the drum to same on the other drum.
