The width of the early vs. late axles has always been a little uncertain to me. I too have heard the 1 1/4" difference, and I know the frames of the 64-67 cars were slightly narrower, but I also know that the Type O axle was used starting in mid 1967. I have a 67 Type O housing that I personally removed from a 67 convertible parts car and I know it was the original axle in that car. It is the same width flange-to-flange as the 68-70 Type O axles. I also know that the factory parts book lists the same part number for the 67 and 68 Type O housings.
