Certainly does, Mike.  Have you ever eyeballed the spring perches
between the two?  

I bet the Cherokee uses a different sized banjo bolt on the brake lines,
too.. one more thing to adapt (though my racer needs new brakelines
anyhow.. they've been cannibalized)

Attention those looking for "wider" axles for their 'Binder.. if the
Jeep is 1.5" wider give or take, that's a little better without being
too much.

Sounds like a great swap candidate for my racer then... cool.

Anyone know of a J10 used the same width (say, 77 vintage) or if the
pickups were a little wider?

Gotta scoot over to the JeepTech pages n' see what they say..

Jeep axles in a Scout.. who'd a thunk it. :-)
