Ken, any possibility that wildwood sent you the wrong stuff? Just sayin', it happens. Even though it wasn't the greatest setup, the cpp stuff fit. Damn beater issues.

Nope !!!......They sent the correct parts for a 12 bolt with stock axle bearings.....The mounting of the Wilwood system is completely different than the "Floating" CPP set-up......Just got the bad Luck of the draw when I bought the housing.......

Got it figured out today.........The 66 Impala Wagon rear axle assy with the big bearings has the same Housing Tube dia ,Flange bolt pattern and Axle / Flange spacing as the 59-64 Impala axle assy...........Ordered the correct kit today........Learn something every day

NICE !!! Back in the day when we worked on our cars it was a hundred bucks here and a hundred bucks there and to us that was a lot of money. We worked hard to come up with that money. Now today it's a thousand bucks here and a thousand bucks there. Lots more pennies.
