A number of years ago, FOT Chip Bond came up with the original drawings for
the factory rear axles, and had them reproduced with modern metallurgy. A
lot of us, including Uncle Jack, used them in conjunction with new rear hubs
that were the effort of FOT Jeff Snook, who essentially did the same thing
with the rear hubs that Chip had done with the axles. It was one of those
axles that failed on Uncle Jack's Old Blue with Tony at the wheel, sending
him on a 100 mph triple roll over wild ride that destroyed Old Blue but
fortunately spared Tony. It was after that wreck that the Southwick
Conversion came to be. My personal opinion is that the Southwick is better.
