Wide frame top, narrow frame bottom:
Note the difference in spindle height in the axle, narrow top, wide frame bottom:

Thank you Kraig for posting those pictures.It would of been very hard to explain,but even harder for me to figure all the difference. Thanks again,if a picture is worth a thousand words,I got five thousand.
