[elwood]

Hey guys
I think Ive got the cases wright, but I dont know any tube lengths
28/31 small case with no front pinion support brg
32/34 small case, added front pinion support brg
35/41 large case
42/48 large case
I think in 42 they added the panhard bar mount and the tubes are 1" longer than the 35/41

Most housings are measured in total width flange to flange. This link has information about width. https://hotrodworks.com/technical-information/identify-axle-housings/

Ford started the panhard or track bar idea in 1941 but didn't carry through with it till 1942. The 1941 bells are unique to that year.

The rear springs are unique to a '41 as well. (Is there a source for a new main leaf for a '41 rear spring?)

Here in Dallas there are big truck shops that re arch and or make new springs .

Ya know, there are still a few niche businesses left in this old car hobby addressing specific component needs. One of those was "HOT ROD WORKS" doing business in Idaho. Recently, the Hot Rod Works decided to wrap it up and placed the unique business for sale. It should be noted that their many BANJO REAR END services has been purchased and put into operation in Waco, Texas under the same name. See CONTACT link BELOW.
