Assuming a 6 cylinder Series III....
The inlet end is 1.875" OD
The outlet end is a little tricky. The actual outlet nub is 1.75" OD but it almost immediately necks down slightly in diameter and curves upwards...with the bend leaving an less-then-round section of pipe that is a little difficult to measure. Ultimately it goes back to 1.875" OD at the rear of the car where the rear muffler fit
Cheers

I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, you were talking about the forward mufflers.
If you want rear mufflers, this might be of interest

When you remove the existing rear mufflers don't cut off too much of the existing pipe or you won't have a good round surface to clamp the new muffler onto. It's another case where the pipe-to-muffler joint is perfectly round but the pipe curves and tapers just ahead of the joint....

Nothing bad will happen. Slight increase in noise. It's a rather odd tone without the front mufflers.
No front mufflers and the glasspacks replacing the rear mufflers might be a bit louder and sound OK

Thrush Turbo/Universal muffler 17696- ReadReviews onThrush Turbo #17696
^^^^^^ This one is close and a good fit but with 2 inch ports. If your pipes are in good condition they can be cut off expanded a bit and welded inside the end of the new muffler.
I've done this...they offer a subtle but noticeable increase in sound over new OE units. The OE units are really heavy and packed thus their quietness.
Should be in stock at your local auto-zone or other big box auto parts store. Can also be ordered out of the catalog from just about any parts store.
