55 - 57 chevy gasser axle question...

[jfg455]

Anyone know the width of a mid 60's econoline ford front axle? and is it the right width to do a 55 - 57 chevy gasser? Thanks in advance. [S

Looks like they are 52 3/4" KP to KP stock. If I am right then the ideal width for tri 5 gassers was right around 50". If that is the case then it should work with a set of skinnies up front. yes no?
