Re: [AMC-List] torqu tube Q???

[farna@xxxxxxx]

I just checked. According to tread width the 63-65 torque tube axle SHOULD fit. The only way to know for sure is to measure the axle once it's pulled out from end to end. Splines on the inner end should be the same for all years. 

Tread width isn't reliable as an indicator of axle width. Tread width varies with tire size and wheel offset. The widths vary from 58-65 by only 1-1.5 inches total, which is a good indicator that the axles are MOST LIKELY (but NOT definitely) the same width and tire/wheel changes are the only differences.

Wouldn't any 58?-up six cylinder torque tube axle work? There's
a hell of a lot more 63-65 donors out there than 58-62.
