Might be able to get a 68 Newport for parts. How close would the rear axle Assy be to fitting in my 62 Belvedere ? Overall width and spring pearch width ? would be nice upgragde to have the flanged axles.
The Newport rear axle is quite a bit wider in both perch and overall width. There is a sticky thread in the brake, steering and suspension forum that lists all the rear axle dimensions.
The only real issue with the early axle is rear drum removal. My 67 Jeep Gladiator has a similar setup. I ordered a 9/16" hole saw. Used without the center bit will cut thru the swedged area of the drum allowing easy removal.
