Hey Gang: Just built a 3.54 rear for my 32 Ford Cabriolet . . . lots of work finding all the 'late 32' parts, but it came out really well. Ran the heck out of it at the HotRod Hillclimb in CO . . . but I can't say I enjoyed it.

The problem is that it is not anywhere near as fun to drive as when it had 4.11 gears. So - I'm going to build a Columbia 2-speed for the car - so I can have "the best of both worlds"! What I'm looking for is a 4.44 set of rear end gears for the 32 - 34 banjo center section (10 spline). I have not looked into whether or not Ford actually made a 4.44 in 10 spline (32-34 case) . . . but if so, this is what I'd like. If not - then I'd take a later 6-spline set and will modify a driveshaft to work with it.

What do you have? I'd love a NOS set . . . or a set in really nice shape. I have enough "worn" gears - and this is for a car that I want to be on the road for long after I'm gone.

Thanks! Dale
