    Early Ford rear axle info required

     



    Hi Guys
    I have a lead on an Early Ford Rear Axle and tomorrow i am going probably buy it. All i know is that it came from a v8 car. How can i determine what year and vehicle it came from? I know there were different widths, but what i am hoping it's from a later model Ford 36-40 so i can build up a Q/C rear from it. Anyone have any good links or info for me?
    Thanks

    NO LINKS ...

    But a 40 rear is 60 inches wide ... measured from wheel mounting flange to wheel mounting flange and has hydraulic brakes ... with the 5 on 5.5 wheel pattern. A 39 is the same but with the wide 5 pattern ... 38 and older have mechanical brakes ...

    All of this is original ... not messed with ...
