Are there different stock lengths for the swingarm type rear axles?
.....yes
Thanks. Just a second. I'm going to put my laptop under the Bug. . . Okay, is that the long one or the short one?
....'58 = short '73 = long Puma = ? Type 3 (if you had one) = even longer
Yes. Up thru '66, they were all the same.
'67 and '68 each were different. '67 began the wider rear stance for safety and '68 introduced 4-lug drums. In the US, '68 was last year for swingaxle.

I asked about the swingarm type, not the IRS. Nya, nya.
Thanks, Jim. I was hoping to tuck in my '58 a bit with the wheels it has (BRMs). Looks like it's a no-go.
...........Whoops! You should'a been listening to Speedy Jim anyway.
