    Is there a chart available of the different Early Ford axle widths here? I'm having a problem mounting my front axle to the used front spring I picked up, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
     
  2. Speedway motors has a chart listing axle width and spring mounting width.

    My axle measures center to center at king pins 49", the spring perches measure center to center 37". the king pins are 13/16". The shackles I'm using are the Model A type, now the question is which front spring would work running a 276 Desoto hemi?
