    I would bet the front is the same as the rear.

    GOOD NEWS: I just found the notes I made in 1999 before I installed my Magnum axle. I made a few measurements and found the following:
    My stock OEM 1940 Ford coupe front axle WMS to WMS distance with stock Ford drums
    was 57 inches.
    Hope others can measure the distance and post it.


    In addition:
    Here's a thread on Fordbarn that gives the 1940 Ford track width. If you know the offset and wheel back spacing I bet you can calculate the WMS to WMS.
