Rear end and torque tube

[Ken/Alabama]

Anyone have an exploded diagram of the model A rear and torque tube? I'm rebuilding a rear for a friend and it's a 32 B but I think is the same as model A. I've rebuilt many 35-48 V-8 rears but this one is a little different animal.

A lot of good info with Tom Endy's article.

Thanks for the link. It will be helpful.

The B is longer than the A because of the longer wheelbase. Not sure, but there may be a difference in the B and the V8?

Jim,
There is no difference in the '32 rear end between the 4 and the 8. The difference came with the '33-'34 rear ends where there was a difference in driveshaft/torque tube length. The guts of the early (actually most of the year) and the '32 are the same as a Model A and the rebuild instructions should be the same. Of course the drive shaft, radius rods, torque tube and axle housings are different.
