The following site shows the 1937-41 torque tube is 69 7/8 in. overall length.
http://www.reds-vintage-parts.com/our-store/category/8-used-flathead-ford-parts?sort=p.price&order=ASC&limit=25&page=3
However, the dimension given in the site mentioned above http://www.flatheadv8.org/fordrear.htm says the length is 71 inches.
The BIG GREEN BOOK shows the 1937-41 Ford Pass. and Comm) torque tube part # to be 68-4504 but gives no length.
Does any Fordbarner know the correct measurements for each of these drive shafts?
I always thought 37-41 torque tubes were the same OAL and were interchangeable. I would hate to buy one and find out I goofed. Thanks.
