Pappy, what's the width of the tread on the Henry J. I have not been close to one in years. That would narrow down the straight axle a bit.Last edited by Oldf100fordman; 07-22-2007 at 05:58 AM.

There have been some posts on other forums about Speedways straight axle components not all mating. One member installed a gasser type two spring model on a customers car, and had some fits getting the brakes and all to mesh.
I think there may be more to the stories than meets the eye, because Speedway generally has this stuff pretty well thought out. Only mentioning it so you have a heads up.

I've been seeing good and bad about Speedway. Money's tight so I was looking for something used. Don't know if that's a good idea or not.

If you can find one out of an old Econoline, Dodge or Chevy van from the mid-60's, they can be narrowed to whatever width you need. The axle beams are forged steel, not cast iron, so they can be welded safely.Jim

I'm sure because of the size and weight it would have to go on a pallet---don't know, but I'd guess with today's surcharges on shipping probably around $150 or so??????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
