Thread: Width of a rear axle

Tweet

Ok, thanks for measure it.
I wonder if 62” will be too wide for a fenderless ford 32 or does anyone have experience that it will look good?
My rear tires are 8.20X15 on 42-48 Lincoln steel wheels and I read that a suitable width for a 32 should be about 57”. I would like to avoid shortening and change bold pattern on another axle due to cost.

I think it might be too wide at 62. One of our Deuce guys will know for sure though.

i cut a ford 9 down for a 34 some time ago 57 rings the bell .the older T birds were around about 57 wide ? i think the older bronco were about as narrow as ford built them as well as the lincoln versailles had one of them sold it for $100.i used to buy ford 9 s all the time out of a scrap yard . till some bone head got hurt there one day. that ended my fun picking parts boy did i get some great stuff out of there cheap
