New from Washington State!

Howdy! I have been reading on here for a little bit and finally decided to make a user name because I have a question about a part.
First off my name is Cory and I bought a 57 chevy bel air last summer and am about to start working on it this summer. I'll be building it into a rat rod, got a 454 sitting in my garage waiting to be built for the car.
Here is the car:


So here is my question. My friend recently went to his fathers uncles house and found a straight axle sitting out in the lawn. Their is nothing on it saying what its from so I'm hoping that somebody on here will be able to recognize it.






Thanks everybody!!!

 

I would never, EVER change that car

 

I don't plan to do much other then to lift the front end up a bit. I don't think I am even going to paint it.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't change the paint.

Very cool. Where in WA you from?

 

Im just outside puyallup.

 

welcome from the north ....jeffrey

 

Thats a Chev axle, probably mid-late 40's.

 

That's agreat looking car. Feel free to refrain from referring to your own car as a "rat rod". The definition of that term is not universal, and what you sound like you will be building is, in fact not a rat rod at all, more like a g***er. Welcome to the HAMB. This place is amazing, the skill and knowlegde here is mind blowing. Hope you enjoy your stay.
