Ford rear end

[J-30]

Hey FellasI have an old ford rear end
There a number on the center chunk X81VB4025 AB 1 Ton ?
The bolt pattern is 5x6
65 inches wide
Can anyone translate the part #

Probably 5 on 5-1/2".Do you have 6 or 5 studs?

5 x 6

Can you post a few different pictures of the hubs and drums,
and of the center section, and also where the springs mount.


5 lug with 6" bp is NOT very common at all.
I think the Toyota Tundra had a 5 lug 150mm (close to 6")

4025 is the Ford part number for the axle housing.
With square axle tubes I would think it would be at least a 1 ton.
How are you measuring the bolt pattern, it doesn't sound right.

I think it is a late 50's F600, my father built a low bed trailer using square axle housing, 6 lugs, if I remember right they were from a 58 or 59 F-600. Ed

Look, I might be totally off base here, but you don't give much to go on. The UK Ford transit van had 5 studs on (something like) a 6.25" bolt circle, had square tubes and part number prefixes something like 82VB. I don't knhow what one would be doing in Florida, but you never know. You don't say if this is light truck (van) or heavy truck, so lots of wild guessing going on.

I have to agree. Probably a safe bet that it AIN'T antique Ford. DD

5 lugs 6 inchs apartThe rims are 20 inchs diameter 10 spoke aluminum

Are you checking it with a wheel stud gauge or just measuring it? Unless you have measured a lot of them it is easy to get the circle dimension wrong.

Just reread your post, you state 6 inches apart? Is the bolt circle 6 inches in diameter or are you saying that each stud is 6 inches for the next? 6 inches between studs are what the 36 - 39 wide 5 are.

Like JSeery said I think you are measuring the studs wrong.
Bolt pattern or bolt circle is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs.

Do you have what's known as the Wide Five bolt circle
The wide five has a 10 1/4" bolt circle.

Measure from the back edge of a lug hole, skip a lug hole, then measure
to the center of the next lug hole. Tell us what that measurement is .

In the old catalogs, that part number is meaningless. FoMoCo did use square tube housings for the single speed rear axles for the 500 & 600 series trucks starting in 53 but they have no numbers even close to that. I'd say it is out of the early Ford category and it is likely larger than a 1-ton. Keep in mind that without photographs or illustrations we are literally blind to what you have there.

I thought the rears with square tubes were a rockwell axle. Early 60's ford 1 ton trucks I think some used a rear like that.
