Does anyone know what width the rear axle is on a 58 pickup 1/2 ton. Not sure what model, thats all the info i have. Is it the same measurement as a 57 golden hawk rear axle?

I come up with about 58 3/4" from flange surface that mates backing plate to the other side.cars aren't as wide,but I don't have one to measure.if it's ratios you want to change you may do so with the truck housing.Joseph R. Zeiger -

You do know the Truck is probably a 4.27 or 4.56 Ratio depending on the Trans. Type, an Automatic may be as high geared as only 3.73, any of these would be a bit Low Geared for a Car without Overdrive.
If your Axle spline count is the same, the Complete Carrier should swap over however.StudeRich
