I know of a person with a
1932 Ford Tudor and he wants to fit a 1934 Ford V8 Differential into it and he would like to know how much you would shorten the drive shaft to make it fit.

Thanks for the information on shortening the 1934 drive shaft, I will pass it on.

Torque tube will have to be shortened the same also

Are the '32 banjo housing the same diameter as the '34?

same housing, same spring mounts, same center except the early 32 with a round torque tube flange, which indicates no rear pilot bearing like a model a

The easily spotted identifier for the early axles is that the radius arms bolt to the axle tubes on a couple of brackets. (not big ones like 35-36). The brackets are straight to the car center line on 32s and in line with the radius arms on the 33/34.
