Along with a set of axle flanges and pinion shaft for fabricating the...

    Building a Long bed bobber

    Well, from the picture I see they just pulled the pinion shaft out of another axle and in there case turned down the bearing surfaces to 1.5" to fit a set of pillow block bearings. And then bolted on the stock pinion yoke flanges, So this new bearing unit is the same size as the intermediate...
