    We've been looking around for a couple of weeks and then it struck me--Ask the HAMB. We're looking for a dropped tube axle for our 33 Willys drag car build and don't really want a heavy .250 wall street rod axle. Any thoughts or directions out there?
    thanks in advance guys and girls

    Ardyboy: I'm looking for the same thing for my Morris. The Chassis Shop sells a nice chrome moly one for cheap ($160, I think), but it's only 36" wide (for dragsters). Maybe they'd whip up a wider one for you for a few extra bucks? I'll be using one of the narrow ones on the Altered I'm putting together, but am still looking for a simple solution for the Morris. We might both end up building our own...

  4. I have made two. Not really very hard. I did use 250 for the first one since it was for a 1/4 eliphtic single spring and i wanted no problem. The last one(2 springs) i used .180" wall mild steel. it is actually not very heavy at all. here is the last one i made. I used whatever spindles are available. (as in Free) and make the tube and king pin bosses to suit. You can make it the exact length you want.
