I’ll start a new thread so I don’t derail this thread.
The '67 Chevelle rear end is 1 inch narrower than the GTO rear end. If I remember correctly Pontiac had that wide trac thing going on. The GTO rear end was 61 inches wide and the Chevelle rear end was 60 inches wide. Same thing with the Camaro and Firebird.
