Re: What the heck happened?
The RAJO ad shows up in a movie "Kid Speed" which co-stars Oliver Hardy. I initially thought this was a screen grab from that movie.

Re: Rescued today !! Looking for info on the rear wheels.
I'm guessing the drum belongs to the TT wheel, and the steel spokes are cut to an interference fit. The hooks and notched rim/fellow keeps the whole shebang together.

Re: Paterson speedo drive gear.
What number of teeth do you need? When I used to see NOS gears around, they were for 4:1 diffs or trucks. I don't think I have any drive pieces left, but may still have a brochure with the ratios listed.

It will fit fine with the 24 transmission cover and narrow brake band. Have this in my 25.

Re: Engine knock during Deceleration.
I had an engine with similar symptoms.
Pulled the pan and things seemed tight.
Turned out it was the front main.
A blocked oil hole was the problem. (Low mileage "rebuild".)
I seem to remember a remetalled cap and rebluing the crank was the solution.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Hubs are same, but the rims needed probably aren't.
Kelsey 88 (loose lug) rims won't go on Ford felloes.
That 1/32" is also in the felloe radius.
Someone may be able to post the Ford service picture to help you diagnose your parts.
Hope this helps.
