1942 dodge ambulance resto

[jake neville]

finished overhauling the front axle this weekend. new brakes, bearings and seals. bit of mucking around to swap the diff centres over. The axle splines are different between the 1/2 and 3/4 ton dodges, i had to pull the crown wheel and pinion out of the 1/2 ton diff and set them up on the 3/4 ton case to take the bigger axles. the rear axle was easy as you can just install the whole pumpkin and use the 1/2 ton axles aswell. it all went together nicely after that. installed it this afternoon and will give it a lick of paint next weekend.
