    Maybe a smaller, grainier picture taken from further back might help?


    EDIT: I rescind the above comment.:D

    Not sure what that is, but it is OLD... no backing plate attachment point... no brakes? Hay wagon maybe?

    Well the craigslist post said it was a 32 ford front end. Obviously it's not. I'm not to savvy at identification. He's asking 75 bucks for it. If its worth it I might pick it up just cause. My brother has dealt with this guy before, he's weird as shit.

    Yea... '32 ford, haha! When in doubt, call it deuce parts! not even close... That looks like teens or 20's era machinery there, Somone who knows what that is may pay $75 for it, but I wouldn't give him $20 if I was building a rickshaw...

    Ha! These are the pics he sent me. Sorry to say this will have to do. I'd really like to keep my contact with this guy as minimum as possible. Like I said he's weird as shit.

    That's a 1924 Dodge axle. (Reverse Elliott spindle/axle design)
    Those spindles and that axle make a terriffic front axle for a classic Indy (or "Big Car")

    That's what I'm using mine for. Oh, the lug pattern is 5 on 4.5" circle: same as '49-'67 Ford. Also easy to make plates for disc brakes. Wheel bearings are still good numbers.

    Ford did not use parallel front springs untill 48 on PUs. It ain't a Ford ! Early Dodge would be a good guess also. $25 if you really want a odd one.
     
  17. Sure looks like a 6 lug to me - I can see 5 lugs in one pic and judging by the pattern there has to be one behind the hub that can't be seen. Or so it looks to me .....

    Yeah I counted 6 lugs myself. I'd say Chevrolet. I've never seen a Dodge with 6 lug nuts.

    The axle is early Chevrolet like 1926-31. King pins are larger than Model T but the spindles can be adapted to fit. The hub interchanges with T.

    Looks like a mid 80's Honda XL with the early pro-link single rear shock suspension.
     
  22. Looks like good scrap.

    It looks just like the front axle I took out of my 27 chevy coach. No brakes on the front at all, from the factory.

    I'm pretty sure you are on the road in either Richland, Pasco or Kennewick Wa and that's the axle I gave a guy who bought a flathead from me a few months ago along with a bunch of other pieces he talked me out of.
    I never did know what it came out of as it was was sitting in my mom's companion's junk pile when we cleaned his old yard up.

    Nahh I'm in north Idaho. After he said there was a ford log on it I asked for a pic, then his phone coincidentally was failing to send pictures. I just left it at that. He already wasted enough of my time.

    It's not 24' Dodge...24' Dodge is 5 lug and 5 on 6.5 or thereabouts.

    Yuppers, you can see that the hub (s) in photos that show closer photos of the hubs are 6 lug hubs. That's not the one I had though a some blacksmith had taken the one I had and cut off tie rod and flattened and drilled the remaining ends to bolt them to the bolt holes where the U bolts went.
