length of rearend

what is the length of a rear end for a 69 442 from rotor to rotor. I measured where the rim meets the rotor. IS it 66 inches?

Didn't know a 69 442 was available with rear discs!
I do know 68 - 72 chevelles were 56" wide from drum to drum,
and would think other A bodies would be close.

I guess it was backing plates I was thinking of -
old head remembers numbers, not locations, I guess!
