Thread: 38 Ford I-beam

Tweet

Thanks everyone for the replies.
Wow, that hydrogen embrittlement sounds like a nasty beast. I didnt really want a chrome I-beam, I just have the opportunity to possibly obtain one. I may have to reconsider now. Plus Im more of an aluminum person instead of a chrome person.
Don, do you know what the distance between the perches are. I could get a measurment of the said axle and see what it is off of. The guy said it was a 38 axle but he got it with a bunch of other parts and is not really into hot rods and could have be misinformed.
Thank you very much for the link Don. I added it to my favorites. If I dont go for this axle or a superbell, I would love to have an original axle that has been dropped. There is just an old school charm to an original axle that has been dropped.

Thanks again everyone,
Thomas
