Email him back and ask him to measure from flange to flange. The 65-66 axles are 57.25 measuring from flange to flange.

I did email him back...
Are you sure that the axle for the 65-66 is 57.25"
I have seen in many places that it is 52 1/4"

Wow, I just realized that I've been making a mistake while looking for rearends >_<
After reading that page I kept thinking that 52 1/4" was measured from flange to flange, not housing end-end

So basically the 59" outside drum-outside drum measurement he gave me would be from flange to flange?

The axle flange is where your lug nuts are stuck into a round thing, Maybe this pic will help. Just scroll down a couple of clicks to see the pic of where the flange is on your axle. http://www.jegs.com/customerservice/CustomAxleForm.pdf

if its anything like the 80s rangers/bronco 2's then the axels are different lengths
Exactly what I was thinkin. Some trucks use offset differentials.

I know what the flange is >_<
According to one site, the 84 Bronco did have a 9 " Weren't the offset differentials only in the front though?
I was asking if the outside drum-outside drum distance was basically the flange distance because the flange meets right at the brake drum:
So it's basically 59" - 1/8"x2 for the drum material. Correct?

No need to get sweaty Stephen.
The 8.8 was first introduced into the 1986 Ford Ranger pickup.

Once again, I am having difficulty find info on a rearend. I am searching for '66 Ranchero rearend width, but I can only find info for up '59 and then '70 and on. I swear! 8 pages of Google and I can find the width of the other years' rearends, but not the '66.
