    Try Joe's Speed Shop in Ponca City OK. He drops axels and will sell outright or send him yours.

    I put a SO-CAL forged axle with hairpins under my deuce pu because I like the fact that you can use the Henry original 37/40 style round spindles with Lincoln brakes and get a full turning radius without bending the steering arms.

    By the way the axels he does are outstanding in look and function.

    thanks for the clarification retromotors
    :D:p:eek:
     
  9. If you are thinking about a after axle look at Chassis Engineering's 4" dropped forged axle.

    That's whats under my 32 pickup.HRP
     
  10. This would be better to go in the classified section under "wanted"
     
  11. HAMBer side-valve will sell you a new one at a good price with free shipping for HAMBers. Go to --> www.thehotrodcompany.com

    Thanks guys for putting the good word out about me. Joe Casto drops only the 1928-36 Ford axles and I drop all the rest of years and brands.

    Am very happy with Greg's axle, but all the other local guys have good reps too. To use a SoCal Tiawanese unit would be insulting to a nice American car...

    Has anybody tried or heard of lucky 7 forged axels?

    I thought Chassis Engineering and Socal only sold new forged units?
    Looking to buy one Chrome.
