Hi Marcus, Good to see the photograph, however poor, as it does look like a sound car. Why are you only talking about body and wings? Is it the case that...

Hi Alan, I have no experience of the type of axle fitted to a 346 limousine, and possibly to the Heritage Pick-up Truck. It has to be a reasonable assumption...
Hi Alan, I will do some research, but my expectation is that the axle is a Salisbury 4HA as used on the 346, 346 limo and Star and Star limo. Different ratios...
