    I have a '40 coupe without a rear end under it. I have access to a '40 truck rear banjo axle ***y w/ spring. It has 3.78 gears.

    Also have access to a '41 Ford truck rear axle ***y.

    Will either bolt under the '40 coupe to make it a roller?

    (picture of '41 Truck, or whats left of it is attached)

    Check the number of leafs in the spring pack. We did the reverse swap on my buddies 41 pickup in 1964 when we were 13 and I remember there was an extra leaf in the pickup pack.

    Bolted in.

    We had help.
