WOW you really are the rear end whisper.
I searched a number of times on the internet trying to find the correct words to find that information.
Again a 1000 Thanks.
I love this van...like my 03 Crown Vic after a number of other cars, I worked out the best of all of them.
If you would like to see what all my fuss is about here is a few links:

First this insane van: There are an number of improvements that are not shown. Larger anti-sway bars, dual batteries under the floor behind the drivers door, a ceiling mounted A/C, converted to Hydro-boost brake system.

On the Fords here is the Mercury before the engine failure. I am moving and improving on all these details to its replacement a 03 Crown Vic P71 ex-cop car.

At the same time you can see what my day job has been.

Using that as a starting point, you can then use a parts website like rockauto.com to compare the length of axleshafts to determine the overall width of other assemblies, too.
It turns out that van rear ends (like yours) are wider than C10 pickup rear ends of the same generation. This was confirmed on the part interchange guides as well. I had assumed that they would be the same as pickup rear ends, but evidently they aren't.
Based on the information above, here are the approximate widths, from wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface, of the rear ends in question:
1977-1996 B/D body sedan: 61.7"
1977-1996 B body wagon: 64.7"
1981-1987 C10 truck: 63.7"
G10/20 van: 67.8"
So, you could run a B-body wagon rear end, but if you wanted to keep the same track width you'd need to use 1.5" spacers.
Yes. The carrier breaks for the 8.5" 10-bolt are 2.56 and down, and 2.73 and up.
