Match your outer shaft to the Chevy parts, and inner to EB. Said above you can use the CHevy stub side shaft. To get teh exact axle shaft lenghts see my web page.

IMO, Ford brakes are shiat compared to the, umm do I have to it....chevy. Ugh.

ALWAYS keep the knuckle and spindle the same! Always, and if you can the outer axle shaft. | |
