Three sets of axles:

Short Axle / Short Spline up to 1966. 3 5/16 inch from bearing sholder to spline end
Long Axle / Short Spline 1967 only. 3 15/16 from bearing sholder to spline end
Long Axle / Long Spline 1968 only.

Two sets of axle tubes:
Short tube 3 3/8 inch from spring plate mounting surface to backing plate mounting surface
Long tube 4 5/8 from spring plate mounting surface to backing plate mounting surface
