1934 ford rearend with 4.33

[34roadsterpickup]

Did they make a 1934 rearend with 4.33 gears? If so is there any marking to back it up?

Ford did not make a 4.33.In 1934 Ford only had 3.54 and 4.11.

My mistake.In the green bible is in fact a 4.333 listed .I have never seen one.I guess rare but who would want to run that low a gear anyway.Maybe yours has the 5 missing since the 3 and 4 was stamped.

Strictly from memory (uh-oh) 3.54 4.11 4.33 NO 3.78
This would be for LATE 32 "18" rear plus 33-34.

Rumbleseat tell of finding 4.33 gears in 34 phaetons used on the King ranch. He found them in the junk yards in south Texas in the 50's . If we could only go back.

I know of a 34 rdstr, RH drive. 4 cyl. that seems slower than 4.33

Thank for all the input.I just wanted to find out what it was before I took them apart.I have 4.11 in my roadster pick up know.I think I am going to install a set of 3.54 in it.When I take it apart I will let you know what I find.

4.33 was the standard ratio for V8 powered '32s.

Source??? My experience tells me more likely 4.11... and 3.78 was
available in early 32 "B" rear axle (round torque tube flange/banjo
flange.)
