WOW!!!! This bit of info made my many visits to the Ford Barn worth while...
In years gone bye, I have used the National external seal, between the drum and axle housing many times to correct a failed inner axle seal on the early Ford rear ends. This was a common fix in the '50/60's. My '36 currently has the National external seals which I installed in about 1965.. I can a test to the fact that the external seal do work, especially on the Columbia side..
I have mentioned the external seals many times in the course of postings to the Barn and Early Ford V8 Forum's... No one every took my comments seriously.. Most people felt that the rear end had to be disassembled in order to do a proper repair...
I will be calling Don's Antique Auto Parts tomorrow to get a set for my Ford, I am getting ready to do a brake job on the rear axle..
