These rims are fairly common down at your local wrecker.
I too need a new axle. I will look into getting the hub on the new axle machined down to fit the Ford rims, unmodified.

David: question for you here. If I get a new axle with higher clearance, can I still use the old
tires at first and then eventually upgrade to bigger size on the same axle?
