Now if it were a new design axle, it would probably be a "world market" design and have metric measurements as well as metric threads and bolts. I can't wait for my new SuperDuty pickup that will have a 268mm ring gear. 
Man, that sounds huge, doesn't it?  |
I'm surprised the 10.25/10.5 isn't metric. My old man's '83 F250 has lots of metric hardware on it and that was built probably before the 10.25 was even conceived.
So the crowd says stainess? The allen heads must look sharp. Stainless allen screws it is!
Thanks guys
