  1. Hopefully the gearhead trust here can help me confirm some early Lincoln axle info for a technical publication. It's one of those obscure factoids that you just want to get right. I have a Spicer Axle parts catalog that lists the Spicer 53 (might be called a "Salisbury" in the late '40s or early '50s) rear axle as being used on assorted '50-59 Lincolns. I have a gap in my manuals from '60-66 and nothing prior to 1950. I have done some searching around but have not found any readily available documentation. My questions are as follows; 1) Was the Spicer 53 used prior to 1950? I have found some chassis photos of a '49 Licoln that shows what appears to be a Spicer 53, though the angles are off just enough to prevent 100 percent confirmation (it looks like a Spicer axle for sure). 2) Was the Dana 53 used after 1959? I know the Ford 9 3/8-inch dropout unit appeared in 1966 Continentals. Can I conclude the Spicer 53 was used until them? I know the Spicer '53 was used in other applications to 1969. Many thanks.
