I saw that video on another site. A few issues with some of his claims about the original axle, but over all a decent show. IMO, for the stock flathead, the only real issue I have with the original axle is the non-self energizing drums on it. Gear ratios might be a bit high, but an OD trans is probably a better option than a gear ratio change. Of course, it's cheaper to swap in an Explorer axle than to source an original OD trans, lol. Though there is an adapter that allows you to slip an A833 (or an A833OD) in there. But that's another can of worms dealing with no parking brake.
Yes he is not well versed in what's available for the vintage cars but it would be nice to have the parts availability (salvage yard and parts store) of a modern vehicle such as an explorer and F150.
