Ross, if you're serious about getting some help on this axle, how
about putting a link directly to the picture? I gave up after
fighting with your registration page for a few minutes. No, I'm NOT
going to register for your page--YOU asked ME for help, so YOU need to
make it convenient for me.

The other possibility is that you've used this request for help to get
us to look at your commercial page. If that's the case, you need some
serious work on that page to make it appealing and functional, as well
as on your ethics, to make them functional I recognize that this may
not be the case; if so, my apology.

Sorry I couldn't help, if that's what you really wanted. If you get
it cleaned up so we can see the picture, let us know.

Interesting. That link took me straight to the picture. There was a "Welcome"
pop-up window, but I just closed that one and had the photo full screen. Never
saw anything like it, though.

The site must have been misbehaving badly the other day. I clicked
the link this time (same computer, same browser) and it took me to
the.axle, even before I managed to click the welcome popup out of the
way.

I have the vaguest recollection of seeing this sort of axle on the
front of a postwar Dodge truck, but I'm afraid it's been too many
years to tell you more than that.

I'm sorry I thought you were spamming. There are so many of those,
it's too easy to suspect it even on a newsgroup like this one--because
we get them on newsgroups like this one.

I think maybe you have a set of 16.5 wheels that were rewelded on old
Dodge 16" centers. I had a couple 15" wheels that had 8 holes I used
for about 10 years.

That's my .02 cents worth. And I still have one left.

mostly old car stuff)

FWIW, I'm familiar with quite a few Ford axles. It's not from any Ford prior to
1949 and is not from a Ford E100 (early Econoline).
