Could someone tell me some information about the side gears and axle shafts on a 48 thru 55 Buick rear axle. I'd like to know the number of splines and the outside diameter of the axles at the spline. I assume this is constant through all the series for the years listed. Could someone verify that also? Thank you.

The side gears and axle shafts will interchange from 1940 to 1955, but I don't have the dimensions. If someone doesn't find them by morning, I will go into the barn and check the numbers for you

The axle shaft measures 1.130 at the splines, and has 12 splines.
