Tim,

With all respect, if you are referring to Deuce lover's comment regarding the coined phrase "heavy", he is 100% correct. There was only one front axle used in the production of the '32 Ford passenger cars and commercial vehicles worldwide, not some "light ones" and some "heavy ones". The ones supplied for service after 1933 were no longer the original '32 version, but rather the '34 version, which is functionally identical and yes, lighter in weight. That some of these lighter replacement axles show up on surviving '32s does not mean that they were "as-built", but rather "as survived".
