Some axle and leafs pics

Looks nice, I'm getting ready to do something similar with my 68. Did you have to use special bearings/seals to fit the 31 spline axles into the small bearing housing? I also plan on ordering all my stuff from Summit, if you can share any part numbers it'd be much appreciated...

Thanks!

I used the superior axles (recommended to me by a fellow stangnet member)

I ordered the Heavy Duty axle retainers from summit, and studs. I left the bearings and seals to the local guys here at http://www.iwerearendsonly.com/ .

The wheel studs i got from summit were wrong, so I am glad I went with my intuition and let the experts deal with the bearing sizes.

I was told by rear ends only to leave the axle seals in the housing, so it was easier for them to match them (I have a '69 housing)

The bearings are common as even 31 spline mustangs used the small axle ends.
