After some digging, in the 1938-41 Ford chassis parts book it lists the torque tube for a 1941 as a 11A-4504 (1941 Ford, and Mercury) in the 1928-48 book it lists the tube as a 6A-4504 (1941-48). So, there was a change in design but apparently not enough that the 1946-48 tube couldn't be used on a 1941..

The radius rods are definately one year only on 1941's (fords at least).

Lastly, the 1941 axle housings are one year only..

Could someone with a 1941 measure from the rear of the Torque tube to the center of the lug for the radius rod mount and also from the back of the torque tube to the brake line bracket?

I am curious as to the difference in the 11A and the 6A tube..
