I found a supose to be 32 late model rear the radius rod tabs are on a angle he siad the torque tube measures 61" and from outside of drum to outside of other drum measures 57 3/4 i would like to make sure befor i purchase
seems like it's a `33-`34 . my `32 torque tubes are 53 5/16" from the the seam where it is bolted to the banjo housing to the front edge of the cup. and a `33-`34 i have is 62 1/2" measured the same way.
try this the easy way. There are 7 basic styles of axle housings. #1) 1928-1931 'A'. The bell is 9 3/4" diameter. The spring perches are on top of the axle tubes near the backing plate mounting flange. #2) 1932 ('A' style). The bell is 9 3/4" diameter and the length is 24 1/8" from housing gasket to backing plate flange. The spring perches are attached to the backing plate flange. The radius rod tabs are straight. #3) 1932 (V8 style) and 1933-1934. The bell is 10" diameter and the length is 24 1/8 from flange to flange. The spring perch is attached to the backing plate flange and is shaped like the '32 'A' style. The radius rod tabs are mounted on an angle. #4) 1935-36. The bell is 10" diameter and the length is 24 5/8" flange to flange. There are no spring perches. The spring was mounted on the radius rods. These housings have an oval flange to which the radius rods mounted. #5) 1937-40. The bell is 10" diameter and the length is 24 5/8" flange to flange. The spring hangers are attached to the backing plate/housing end. #6) 1941. The bell is 10" diameter and the length is 24 5/8" flange to flange. The 1941 housings have a small triangle shaped "nub" by the spring shackle hole, and a stud on the p***enger side spring hanger for the pan hard rod . #7) 1942-1948. The bell is 10" diameter and the length is 25 1/2" flange to flange. These have an extra stud on the spring perch for the pan hard rod.
