Rear axle from 37

[37fordpickup]

This my project for the next few weeks- clean, paint, replace parts including installing the original cable brakes. What is the spacer for underneath the spring? After I rob a bank, tires.

HI, that spring had a few of the leaves removed to flatten it , lowers the car a little
& softens the ride, hence the spacer , so the u-bolt spring cip bar can quench up
when tightening & wont bind up on the x member.

Are you going to remove the jouce brakes that is in the pic and install the original 37 cable brakes? Walt

Yes on installing the cable brakes. The front is already done.

How many leafs should be there? I counted 8 leafs and 9 on the front spring.

Check the gear ratio stamped on the bottom center rib of the banjo housing. If it is a 9:44, its only good for running a 3/8th circle track with a 28th trans in second gear. The best all around gear outside of the mountains is a 3:78 stamped 9-34
