I beam axles
I have a question about '28 - '32 dropped I beam axles.
why is there 48" with 36 1/2 perch centers, and a 46" with 34" perch centers

Anyone can cut one up, but! only some can put it back together looking cool!
Steel is real, anyone can get a glass one.

The standard is the 48. The 46 allows you to lower a fendered car deeply and the tires fit up into the "pocket" of the fender rather than hitting on the outside of it. It is just a clearance thing. Not sure about the perch center thing, but the norm for a model A style spring is 34.

I understand that would be nice.
I quess what I meant to ask is it a factory thing, or is it only on aftermarket I beams & tube axles?

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
