32 rearends
I decided to switch my plans ( from a 37/40 rearend ) on my 32 5W coupe.
My first idea and plan was a 35/36 rearend with 35/36 bones and a A-Ford cross and QC.
So I bought a QC and bones and a cross and a banjo/ends I could bought.
I chanced plans so I bought a 37/40 banjo/ends and idea was to use cutted off ends of the 35/36 bones, but few of my buddies did like that idea ( cut off the nice part.. ) even if I saw it was not uncommon to do that, but I sold the bones and got a set 37/40 bones instead and the idea was set them inside frame on the axle ( aka Rolling Bones )
But I has never really like the bulky ‘nose’ hanger hold the spring on the 37/40 axles.
-One told me, why don’t you get a 32 rearend of your car, that fit way better the style ( end of 40’s, race )
Ok, I find a Texas ( absolutely no rust ) 34 complete axle with 4.11 in a good working condition.
I came with bones and a driveshaft, but the brakes was off ( no need as I will use Lincolns )
The rear spring was in a great conditions and the mount had a Ford logo on it, se picture.
But blades was straight, not edges as I seen on all 32/34 springs.
Is this a Ford spring ?
Then another question.
This axle has straight bones and the mounts on axle are wedged.
That’s 33/34 std.
But did the 32, had those wedged mounts or was them straight or first straight then the later in 32 had them wedged as the 33/34 ?
Ok, so the road was curved… but I feel I’m pleased… go this way on the rear !
