Nice set of speedometer gears for 6.6-1 bevel gear axle. These are from a lower mileage truck and show minimal wear. $50 including shipping to conus.

Bevel gear or worm drive? I disassembled three bevel gear axles. A couple came off hard. You need a VERY stout puller and big hammer, lots of penetrating oil and perhaps a little heat from torch. On one I had to free up frozen brake adjusters with penetrating oil and torch to be able to back brakes ...

I did my own. Easy tires to mount. Just use caution inflating.

Ford specified 6.00-20 all around for duals and 6.00-20 front and 6.50-20 on rear running single.

What I have found on all chassis parts that relate to the car is that the bolt and or rivet kits sold for the cars are always too short because the truck frame is thicker gauge metal. Not exactly what you were asking but relates.

I put 6:1 Snyder's head and touring grind cam in my rebuild, bored .080 over. Haven't built body yet and have only driven chassis sitting on milk crate, but seems pretty peppy. I have all the parts ready to rebuild a Warford overdrive but haven't put it together yet. I'm optimistic.

The only difference was frame length and the coupling shaft was longer on 157”. I think front spring may have been heavier on 157” too if I remember correctly, and sometime later In production they went back to rigid front motor mount I believe.

Any good chassis grease is fine. It’s like when I asked engine rebuilder what kind of oil to use. He said clean and plenty.

I have shims on top of axle, not sure if that’s correct or not but seems to work well.

Here is a photo of original bearing. It is marked top. Hope that helps. Yes bearing is under axle on truck.

6913F95F-68D5-4719-8CB7-FCC9D87246F2.jpeg Yes the truck is different. Thrust bearing goes under axle knuckle. It needs to get grease from the bottom fitting on spindle. I found a NOS set when I did mine but after a long soak and repeated washings my old bearings were smoother than the new ones. Too...

I used them after hearing of them on this site. They knew exactly what bearings I needed for the Warford and were great to do business with.

Thanks Neil. Exactly what I needed. Looks like I would need the dog leg lever for the one side if I did the bend like top shaft. I was thinking about making the offset with flat bar and building it like a crankshaft throw, but wouldn’t look original.

OK, I think I will go ahead with Warford install in my AA project. I believe it’s a 28-29 style but I think I have the correct u-joints to make it work along with the splined rear bracket for cross member. I have all new bearings but will need to have a new counter shaft made. My next hurdle will be...

Try Southshore Bearing, they had bearings for my Warford
