No

[daytonalo]

Thanks !! Is E and B the same width ?

A-Body -  52-37/64" Length

E-Body -   56-7/16" Length

And B-Body -   54-29/32" Length

P.S. - These are all 1970 dimensions - I don't think the B-body changed from '69 much - I'll check

[daytonalo]

You guys are awesome  !!!!!! Those numbers are from hub-face to hub-face ?

[maxwellwedge]

The parts book doesn't say where that measurement is taken from but If I had to bet money I would say hub faces.

71 and up b body is wider than a e body, just an fyi

[maxwellwedge]

Yup - Good FYI - 71 B-Body    57-47/64"
