    Hello Everyone,

    Probably going to get tired of me but i was wondering if anyone had information on a super bell axle. One of our great HAMB members came out to my house and told me my car had a super bell axle and showed me the logo on the front in the middle of it. Does anyone have info on these axles? I need to order king pins instead of 3/8 extension lol!!!
     
  2. The internet is an incredible research tool, so is the HAMB, a lot going on here!!

    I bought Super Bell dropped tube axle back when I was building my '34 in the late 1980's. It seemed as though everyone with a dropped axle had a Super Bell, so that's what I went with. I still have the car and the axle has always worked without any issue. My doesn't have a logo on it but I have seen some with tags in the middle of the axle that read Super Bell.

    What spindles does it have. That's what would determine what king pins you need.

    As dirty Doug mention, what spindles does it have? Round back 37-41 uses a different length than 42-48 which are longer.

    Then you simply buy a spindle kit for the 42-48 spindles. All Super Bell axles use Ford king pin sizes.

    Call Jerry at Pete and Jakes. Best phone call you'll make on guidance and questions.

    Super Bell tube axles don't have a logo, but the cast I beam axles have a logo in the middle of the web.
