    What Franklin rear end “element” do I need for this rear end? This was a spare truck rear end I purchased that I think came from a NASCAR team selling their old junk. It was never run. It is going into a 1929 Model A roadster build. The frame is newly build and will be part of a drivetrain including a Navarro supercharged 59AB flathead through a T-5 xmission. Let me know and thanks. IMG_0083.jpeg

    What elements are you referring to? It looks fine just as it is to me. IMG_0027.jpeg Here’s my almost identical Winters rear. I like yours the way it is. I am ***uming it has a differential and not a spool…

    Gears inside of the rear cover? A differential instead of a spool?
    The only other stuff I see missing in the picture are brakes, shocks, and a driveshaft. None of which need to be from Franklin.
