[Fot] Ford Truck Axles

[JS Performance Motoring, LLC]

Rod,
     The inner flange and u joint setup looks almost identical to the
Corvair sourced set I have in my street GT6.  The welded on yoke means you
have the "sealed for life" bearing option :-P

The yoke splines onto the axle like to get loose, and I presume the welding
was a temporary fix to tighten them back up.

When I looked, the yokes are not available new.
