Do you have to give up the beam axle? If I were you and really had to give it back to cous, I would look for a replacement beam set up from someone upgrading to independent. I have MII under my 46 and it is really not THAT much better than a good beam axle set up correctly. If you look at sites like this one and Fordbarn you will sometimes see such a deal. Good luck which ever way you turn. Joe
