JS.....Thank you for looking that up. It's obvious that the '41 "11A-" Ford 'bone has something different about it than a '39-'41 "99A-" Mercury wishbone. Ford didn't normally create a NEW number for a "same" part used on a Mercury, or vise versa. For instance J, look-up a '39 Merc front axle. I'd be willing to bet that it's the same front axle as that in any '37-'41 Ford, and as such, will likely have a number like "78-3010". The "78" is Ford-speak for the year 1937 (during which there were still no Mercs). "3010" is obviously Ford-speak for any FRONT, I-beam Axle. Whichever brand (Ford or Merc) used a multi-brand part first, that part number remains unchanged for BOTH brand applications. DD
