Many Chevelle 12 bolt rear ends have been stripped of their brackets and had Camaro spring perches welded on and installed in Camaros. CF is a '69 Chevelle 12 bolt with 3.31 and Posi. It will be 61 inches wide overall, where the Camaro rear end would have been 60 inches wide.

60" would be backing plate to backing plate, correct? Bill

No. Backing plate measurements are useless. Total width is the only thing that you should be concerned with. 60 inches is total width for first gen Camaros, '68-'79 Novas and '64-'67 Chevelles. 61 inches is total width for '70-'81 Camaro and '68-'72 Chevelle.
