My friend here in Scotland has got hold of a 1940 mercury coupe, it is missing a rear axle and torque tube.
Would a 1946/48 Ford torque tube / driveshaft be the right length?
I know the simple answer is try it and see, but he is 150 mile round trip from us and my cousin and I are trying to identify and assemble the right parts from assorted Ford rear ends we have before we make the trip.
Thanks in advance for advice.
Gordon.
