I am not sure what they did in the 61-68 W300 years. But in the 58-60 Power Giant W300 era. The rear ends are the same from a SWR to a DRW. It is 47 and 1/8 inches backing plate to backing plate no matter what model your takling about.
Check out the link below. I just took pics of a 1960 W300 (the one I got from you a few years back) It is a factory DRW truck, and it is 47 1/8' backing plate to backing plate.
I also took pics of my 1959 W300 factory SRW truck and it is 47 1/8' backing plate to backing plate.
I think the rearends are the same. You can take the hubs/spacers off of a SRW and put them on a DRW truck and not have to change out the axle shafts.
I know because I did it on my other 1960 W300 that was a DRW truck and is now a SRW truck.
I dont think this is to far off of the thread.
Let me know what you think AAA??
