4th Gen Rearend

Where in the world is there a spec list or a source of published information regarding rear end housing widths? Nobody I know even mentions ever having been checked. Wheelbase, yes, but housing widths? If you put a 66 stock width Impala rear end in a Camaro with leaf spring perches installed, I'm sure that wouldn't fly with the extreme width differences, unless the big car rear end was narrowed, but I've never seen a spec for any car's mandated rear end width. With all the fourth gen F body cars out there, it should be no problem finding a good one all ready to go, in fact, don't the established rear end shops offer a complete ready to use rear end that's a bolt in?
