1936 Chevrolet Truck floating axle video

[Keith Webb]

Interesting to hear the repeated use of the word 'husky' to describe something strong.

Indeed, the CMPs are a 'husky' design through and through.

There was also a lot of emphasis on the design being 35% stronger than the previous year which suggests the earlier one was trouble prone.

Also interesting was the line where 'Chevrolet engineers realised the need for access to the gears in the centre'. Shame the Ford/Timken engineers didn't feel the same need when an axle breaks off in the diff centre, eh? Perhaps the split type diff housing was cheaper to manufacture.
