OK I'm new here. I'm gonna P**s some of you off, here goes.
Why are you discouraging the man from using a straight axle on his car? He wants something different than a cookie cutter, lowered, BBC, can't drive it anywere, dust collector. If done CORRECTLY a straight axle handles on the STREET as well as anything as long as you remember it ain't a Corvette, (or even an early Camaro for that matter). I just bought a '55 w/a straight axle just because it's different. I've got pics if anyone want to see 'em. Maybe some of you guys should stop collecting dust yourself and have a little fun in a DIFFERENT car that drives. And look at ALL the early Fords and Chevies out there with straight axles, you gonna tell them to change? I'm sure I ruffled a few feathers. Makes for and interesting day, huh........
