The full width chevy's are about 67" to 69" WMS-WMS. IIRC

1997 Isuzu Rodeo - Auto - 31" ATs
1995 Honda Passport - 1 tons - 39" Boggers

Body Damage is Cool

dodges are usually 67" - like front D44's and D60's

Chevy and fords fronts are "usually" 69"........rear axles.......like vans can be as wide as 72"

to add some isuzu tech <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> you can run 2" wheel spacers on a rear 1996+ trooper 12 bolt rear to make it 67".... AKA full width

'93 RS 3.2L - DD/trail build
'97 7.3L Powerstroke - tow rig
'71 FJ40 - V-8, nv4500, atlas, D60, 14B - current build

The same trick would work on a 1996-97 Rodeo leaf-sprung Dana 44 too.
(It's a bit wider than the earlier Rodeo D-44s)

Six Isuzus, so far... still have three of them.

I am running full width axles on my Dodge D-50. Front is a high pinion Dana 44 from a 78 Ford F-150. It is 65" wide from WMS to WMS.
The rear is a Chevy 12 bolt. It's width is 62" wide from WMS to WMS. I run 1 1/2" wheel spacers on the rear to make up the difference.
It all fit under my rig and with fender flares it looks pretty good.
