Hey Newbomb Turk,
First off I just have to say that you are going to LOVE this bumper if you decide to order one (and I really hope you do)!!!!
OK, to answer your question about the front axle. The Original Graffiti Coupe has an original front 1932 Ford HEAVY axle (this axle was used ONLY on 32 Fords) that has been dropped 4 inches. The Axle was then chrome plated. Please take notice that the center of the axle is silver and not chrome. This is because the axle was NOT polished out in the center there for leaving it a rough finish (stock) which the crome does not stick to. Now the axle I have on my project in all of my pictures is a Magnum 32 axle that has been dropped 4 inches. the measurement from king pin to king pin is 48 iches as where the original coupes is close to 49 inches. The KOOL thing about the magnum axle is that it has the stock looking appearance of an original 32 Ford (however it is NOT a HEAVY AXLE). This means no logos to remove. I do have an original 32 heavy axle that I am planning on getting dropped and chromed so the axle on the project is going to be replaced. This is only being done so my project matches the original coupes. I know, I'm touched in the head!!!!!
Saw this posted on FB, and thought of posting it on the Joke Page as a Model A Donk, but then thought it's not a joke, it's cool!! -
