34 BB truck question

[oswego37]

I'm in the process of inspecting the rear brakes on my 1934 BB truck. I have a Ford service book with minimal info. Is there someplace where I might find more detailed info? I've got the axle out and could use a little guidance. Thanks

thanks, seems like there is some variations of the 34 model

The truck full floating rear axle was introduced during the 1934 model year. Trucks from 1932 through 1934 used a 3/4 floating rear axle. Early 1934 trucks have the 3/4 floating rear axle and late trucks have the full floating rear axle. The easiest way to tell these axles apart is to look at the rear axle hub cap. The full floating axle has an approximately 6" diameter stainless steel hub cap with a Ford script inside an oval. The 3/4 floating axle has a much smaller screw-on cap.

thanks, I have no hub cap, but it would be about 6". so i must have the later model axle.
