WANTED: '53-56 used front beam axle
#17
Scott - I again offer my '59 axle, drum to drum without springs. My '57 copy of the Ford Body Builders Layout Book shows it is 32.36" C/L-C/L of the spring perches and 60.81" at the C/L of track width. I now also have a '53 copy of the Body Builders book that shows the same 32.36" spring perch figure and 60.57" track width figure. The slight difference in the two track width dimensions is no doubt due to a 5" wheel on the '57 vs 4.5" on the '53.
You're welcome to have it. If you are going to Bob's this weekend I'll load it in the van. Stu

Also, the 57-60 axle when used in a 53-56 lowers the front 1" Old time hotrod trick.

Found out today, that there's a zero chance of attending. Between my friend's wedding (wish they picked another weekend, as I don't pay attention to these things like my wife does) and working Saturday, I won't make it. Stu, if there's a chance you can bring the axle, I'll make a special trip to Bob's in the near future to get it, and at the same time, drop off those factory overload springs and brackets, if Bob, you're still interested? Wish I could make it, but this coming weekend ended up a bad one for me. I'd like to extend an invitation to those attending this year to possibly make it to my place in the next year or two, for a possible FTE get-together. Anyone along the Hwy 61 corridor will be right in the ballpark.
Dang it, the cards just didn't fall right for me this year.
