Technical Dropped front axle

I am looking to purchase a dropped front axle for my 57 f100 the person selling the axle has a 3 inch dropped axle with blocks and tie rod ends but my axle is straight this one has what I believe to be "dimpled" the center has a drop in it can I use this or no any help is appreciated thanks

 

What I read here http://www.droppedaxles.com/FORD_AXLES.html#TXTOBJ7D814314E192261 is the only difference is that some were dimpled and some weren't..See if part number matches..

 

Does he know what year truck that's off of?

 

Measure the gap between the bolt holes. You have a 2 in wide spring some of those axles are for 1 3/4 spring the 53-56 Ford's, those won't work.

 

The axle is for a 57-60 f100

 

Check the part number on the axle per the site in post #2. If it matches the part number on your axle it will work..

 

Seb Fontana the numbers match thanks for the advice [emoji106] much appreciated
