So I was trying to use a '46 Ford front axle but that got to be an extreme hassle & I sorta wanted this to be a lil more upscale build so I sprang for this front end from Johnny Law Motors. What was weird was I saw this exact front end on the Walmart site for $300 less that was shipped from Johnny Law Motors... I'll take it! Who knew?!?

Order yourself a silicone wedding band - You'll never go back! They are super comfortable and completely avoid situations like this. They will also give way BEFORE your finger if they are snagged, unlike a metal ring. Not only that, available in just about any color, cheap and sold by Recon Rings - a Veteran owned company. [

Tripper, check that axle over real good! Johnny Law is part of the Hoffman Group, world wide known distributors of cheap Chinese junk! Several threads on their poor quality parts on the HAMB and other sites! Be careful with it!
Yep... gonna return it! Thank goodness I ordered it through Walmart of all places!

Please stand by.......
I like the wheels too Tripper...did you order direct or
through a distributor?
through a distributor?
Thanks! I'm happy with them!
They're just 5 x 4 1/2. I wish they were dual!
They're discontinued Cragar's & I had a hard time finding them but finally Jegs came through. I need a small backspacing & these were 2 1/4" & I like the look & best of all... they were only $60 ea. Hard to beat that!
