As one of the posters on that site mentioned, they're a good option on passenger cars or Cowboy Cadillacs that never get a load in the bed. By moving the bearing surface inboard on the axle (increasing the leverage) and having a stress point built in by the worn spot on the axle, there's a risk of breaking the axle off at the wear groove if a heavy load is encountered. Trust me on this- - - -a wheel and tire assembly crammed up into your nice bodywork after the axle breaks off is not something that will make your restoration job look good! Jerry
