best drop axles

Does anyone have any experience with dealers who sell drop axles for the 53-56 F 100, not the tube axle that Midfifty sells I have one of those and am not satisified with it.

I was looking at these...partly because they are closer to home, but I have also heard good things. I am sure he will chime in as I see him post on here.

That was the other one I was going to mention as well...don't know how I could have forgotten a website as easy to remember as "Droppedaxles.com" ?

Call Steve or Adam at Industrial Chassis. Adam has been dropping axles for a long time and they do the work themselves in their shop on their jigs. It makes for a shorter turnaround time. In fact, I think they do the dropping for Roadsters.com. But don't quote me.
