Definitely not Model A or early '32 because the flange the torque tube bolts to has scallops. Are there any wishbone mounts on the side we can't see? Charlie Stephens

I couldnt tell you if it has wishbone mounts since I dont know what that is but I would say the picture show what it looks like pretty much all the way around. Other parts we found in the same shed included stuff that was new in box and were from a ford ranger and a ford f-150, perhaps it goes to one of those?

I am certain it is late '32 to '48 Ford (not newer) but someone else will have to narrow it down. Charlie Stephens

Of course there is some value....$80 at least. Grab the money and run, it seems to be a fair price. Unless your willing to spend some time on it and measure the axle housing length, check the axle ratio & does it appears to turn correctly and without any hitches, and disassemble the wheel hubs to inspect the axle housing bearing surfaces and axle end tapers. No radius rod mounts then 37-48. The brake drum hubs appear to be 40-46.

The person who offered you $80 for it probably knows what model year it is for.
