1937-1940 Wheel Track Width

[TagMan]

I did a search, both here & on google, but couldn't find the answer, which is: What is the track width (distance between the center of the driver's side tire tread to the center of the passenger side tire tread) on 1937-1940 Ford passenger cars ? I assume they're all the same, as the axle used during that span of time were the same.

Thanks for your help!

I have a drawing that shows 56" but the service bulletin shows 55 3/4".

The axles for those four years were identical, but differed in "track" width from front to rear. Read below! DD
