RE: [SilverStreak] Axle for 1971 ss. Help!!



I really don't recommend cutting an axle.  Axles are made with a
certain "bow" in them to allow the axle to be flat when fully loaded.
Cutting the axle would defeat the design parameters.  Also many axles
are difficult to wield back up in such a manor as to insure safety
over the long term.

My suggestion is to have him check with the UTILITY trailer and FARM
trailer manufacturers, and farm trailer repair parts dealers in his
area.  Trailer axles are made to many width's, drops, and loads, for
Utility and Farm trailers.

Regards,

Ralph
