Default Re: 1930 Model A PIckup rear end questio...

Bill,

Definately a columbia.... As Pat from Santa Cruz says John Connelly is the guy who supplies parts and can advise you on it, however, I will let you know he won't like the fact that it's in a Model A... He's a firm believer they should only be in the V8's..... Since you already have it... I'd leave it... just make sure the adaptation arrangements... ie, axle housings, spring hanger arrangements are top notch. I can't see them from the photo. Columbia's have some inherent weaknesses in several of the internal parts. Modifying them or "Bulletproofing" them so to speak is what John does along with selling rebuild parts, etc. He is excellent... Properly rebuilding a columbia depending on what it needs, and is a job that is best handled by someone schooled in them. Rebuilding depending on what's wrong can be expensive. Call John for advise.
