    I searched but I didn't find what I was looking for....so here goes...Looking for a narrower stock Ford axle.
    Was there ever one that came in close to 45"-46" king pin to king pin?

    Not that I know of unless it was an English Ford.

    I don't know. A buddy of mine was thinking there was a year of axle that was narrower than the others. Thanks though.

    there used to be a post that had all the various makes and widths for rear end width. I tried finding the post a week or two back with no luck. If someone has the link, post it back up (sorry to jump your post Jeem)
