Title: 1941 super deluxe axle and rear end swap
Post by: Natcox012 on July 20, 2015, 06:10:11 AM
1941 super deluxe. Poor condition and building back very unique with a 7.3 idi. Was wondering what rear end and axle to use if i can use original I will. But I don't know if it will hold up to the power and would love to have a turbo setup one day? What do you guys think?

A more modern axle gives you easy to work on good brakes, and , more power ability, most preferred seems to be a Ford 9" or 8.5",  others (GM) are done but may not be as easy to work around.

What Obama said........The original axle will never hold up to that much power.
