rear axle width

Anyone know offhand the width of a 93-97 rear axle from wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface? Amazingly searches have turned up nothing.

Re: rear axle width

Strange Engineering shows (at least in the old catalog cut that I saved when I bought my 12-bolt) the dimension, between the hub flange outer surfaces as 64.72". That is their direct replacement rear axle assembly for a 4th Gen. My 12-bolt was identical to the stock 10-bolt width.
