Return PolicyOur dropped axles for your classic Ford F1 pickup will get the front end down where you want it. And with the additional negative camber built into the axle, this is designed to work best with radial tires to withstand the rigors of driving on modern roads at higher speeds. The center portion of the axle is made of 2" DOM tubing while the ends are CNC milled from solid steel. These axles give you 2" of drop on the 57-60 chassis. Tie rod drops required, U-bolts sold separately.
If using this axle in conjunction with drop springs, you may encounter bump steer or tie rod issues.

Customers appreciate the 1953-60 Dropped Front Axle for its functionality, noting the satisfactory 2 1/2" drop. However, some modifications may be required for certain applications, such as fitting to 2" wide springs. Despite some reports of inconsistent tolerances and possible need for alignment adjustments, the axle is still recommended by users, asserting it ultimately gets the job done. It's hailed for being robust, although advance knowledge about the built-in negative camber attribute and possible adjustments needed would amplify user satisfaction.

The axle was set up to fit a 1956 with 1 3/4" wide springs. My project was a 1959 F100 with 2" wide springs. The spring pads were a 1/4" off for my application and the holes for the u-bolts were also 1/4" off. Just a little modification to work for my application. Very pleased with the 2 1/2" drop this axle provided.
Great quality

I was pretty disappointed with this axle, the tolerances for the kingpin boss are pretty sloppy. I sent the first axle back it was so bad, the second was a little better and I went ahead and used it but I would not purchase another from speedway. The welds on the axle were also pretty sloppy. They build these axles with negative camber that the original did not have, not so sure it works well with bias ply tires but I am not an expert on that subject, would have been nice to know that ahead of time though.

When we mounted the axle the 1959 F100 truck had 2 1/2 and 3 degrees negative camber. We had to bend the axle to get the camber up to an acceptable level. For cosmetic reasons, a simple bend in the middle wasn't an option because of the amount it had to be bent, so we had to bend both ends near the spring pads to get acceptable camber (1/2 degree negative. Fortunately, we're an alignment shop and were able to do this in house. Also, the u-bolt holes were too close together and had to be hogged out, after my tech ruined a couple of u-bolts trying to get it together. The center bolt hole in the spring pad wasn't deep enough to accept an un-modified spring center bolt. However, it did do the job. I can recommend this axle as long as the customer is aware of these issues.

Actually, these are the axle measurements for stock axles listed on Nostalgia Sid's dropped axle web site. It looks like the only difference between '57-'60 and '61-'64 is really just the shock eyes on the later axle. So can this axle be used for '61-'64 truck if I fabricate a lower shock mount? Also, Nostalgia Sid's '57-'60 spring pad measurement is 1/2" different than Speedway. '57-'60 2-3/8" Kingpin Boss 53-1/2" Kingpin Center to Center 32-1/4" Spring Perch Center to Center 2" Wide Spring .859 dia. Kingpin '61-'64 2-3/8" Kingpin Boss 53-1/2" Kingpin Center to Center 32-1/4" Spring Perch Center to Center 2" Wide Spring .859 dia. Kingpin

Can this axle be purchased without the spring pads welded on? I want to use it on a '63 F100 but the spring pad center to center is 1/2" different. Also, what is the height of the king pin boss?

Installed this on my 1960, went to instal the stock steering stops and they don't touch the axle a truck all, allowing my wheels/tires to get into the steering link and rubbing. Isn't there a pair of axle stops I can purchase from you for this?

I installed Posies 3" drop leaf springs. I have the stock axle & spindles, but it's not as low as I'd like. Is this axle compatible w/the Posies? Will this axle cause bump steer w/the stock tie rods? If so, will the drop tie rods offered by Speedway fix this?

Will this axle work in the 61-64 f-100? The king pin kit covers 57-64, so should be the same spindle. The lower shock mount on the 61-64 is a lug bolted to the axle just out board of the spring, this axle does not have that so a lower shock mount would need to be added, simple enough? Spring perch center to center maybe differant i don't know if the 61-64 has wider frame rails. King pin center to center is the same i think. Will this axle work with minor mods?
