Wild idea

[DJonezy13]

I need some help, not sure if it's real or not. I'm looking to find a make that had a 4wd front axle with a center pumpkin but am starting to doubt it's existence. Needs to be steerable. Or! A steerable rear axle with center pumpkin

Most that I know od are offset to either driver side or passenger side, because the transfer case output shaft is pff to one side. Even many rear axles are slightly offset.

I think if you go way way back into the ancient stuff, custom aftermarket conversions like the marmom-herrington (that is F1 1948 -1952 ish) were perfectly center. That said, M-H are more rare than diamonds, if you find one DONT cut it up. there is a host of guys who will beg for it. Past the first gen of 4x4 aftermarket when you get into factory OEM, I think that almost all are off center. Might check early Jeep - that's just a guess.

Pretty sure early Jeep is offset.

There really isn’t much that isn’t offset until you get into the heavy truck stuff.

Oh and diamonds aren’t rare at all, just there’s a huge market control inflating the prices. A lot of other gemstones are far more rare.

An enterprising fellow with a fat wallet could custom build a center diff steerable axle by shortening one axle tube and lengthening the other then getting custom shafts…
