Dimensioned drawing comparing axle flange bolt patterns and diameters for several rear-axle types with an axle flange cross section.

AI caption · Photo 33 of 34

This document is a blueprint-style reference chart identifying seven common automotive axle flange bolt patterns by their dimensions, plus a side-view cross section illustrating how axle flange 'offset' is measured. Each flange type is drawn with key dimensions in inches: Small Ford (2.835 pilot diameter, 2.00 and 3.375 bolt spacing), Big Ford Old Style (3.150 dia, 2.375, 3.500), Big Ford New Style (3.150 dia, 2.00, 3.562), 8.8" Ford (3.410, 2.840 pilot, 1.680, 3.076), 12 Bolt Chevy (3.125, 2.437, 2.687), 8-3/4 & 9-3/4 Mopar / Dana 60 (3.188, 2.875 dia, 1.594, 2.203, 3.562), and Olds / Pontiac (3.500, 3.150 dia, 2.375, 2.875). A reader can use these measurements to identify an unknown axle or brake flange pattern when selecting brake kits, backing plates, or axles for Ford, Chevy, Mopar, Dana, Olds, and Pontiac rear ends. The 'Axle Flange Cross Section' drawing shows where offset is measured on the axle shaft flange. The document is undated and not vehicle-year specific.
