    Lucky seven is just as good and a heck of a lot cheaper.

    Well, Superbell are cast,not forged...but Lucky 7 are Chinese. You want a Chassis Engineering axle.

    I've used both, never had trouble with either one. Have never used chassis engineering yet so can't say anything about them.

    I will be the first to suggest looking for a stock 1933 to 36 Ford front axle, you can find them pretty easy stock or dropped and drilled.

    I will second that. Real Ford axles trump all aftermarket stuff.

    Call OkieJoe, he a hambr' and that is all he does is drop axles. He will provide you with an original ford axle, drooped and drilled etc
    Google Joes' Speed Shop - you won't regret it.

    I have a "Lucky7" on my current build and it is forged, not cast.. I had a good experience dealing with them.. I also have a Superbell(cast) on my other coupe and has been find for 2 years.....
