2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Need specs from a '97-'99 sales catalog

[MAX A/C]

I'm looking for the "Rear track outside" dimension for the 3500 Chassis Cab for '97, 8,or 9. Hopefully it will be narrower than the 92. 2" quoted in my '01 brochure.



I have an older utility body that is a bit narrow for the '01-'02's, as Dodge increased the wheel offset making for a wider track in those years.



And if anyone has a First Gen brocure, I'm interested in that spec as well--they look a whole lot narrower than 2nd gens.



Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Thomas! That's what I needed.

My '97 brochure says under Ram chassis cab "Track" rear, outside: 86. 6

My '98 brochure also shows 86. 6

Jared- thanks for looking it up.



I read that the offset was increased in '00; but given what Thomas's '99 brochure says compared to your 97 & 98, maybe it was increased in 99. And that brings up another question: Maybe a 99-02 truck would work by using 98 or earlier wheels. I dunno.



The old truck it will be coming off of is 84", so 86. 6 may be close enough to work.



Thanks.
