    Have a q regarding my present front axle and the, should be, replacement.

    The axle on my car is a -37 i-beam acording to previous owner. Due to various reasons I picked up a spare to get some other parts, and now that I compare them they are not very similar at all.
    Any of the gurus in here that can spot what I got going here? Uploaded some pics, if anyone think they need a different view, I can try and snap new pictures tomorrow.

    the black axle with the holes drilled is `37-`41 , the rusty one with spindles/brakes on it is `33-`36

    That was quick, thanks alot man!

    One small rookie question left then, will the spindles I've been running on the -37 axle fit the older one as well? I'm guessing yes, and will be able to me***ure later on, but if you have the answer on hand you can save me the time

    Yes, spindles will interchange. Perch pin boss height is 2" on the 33-36 axle, 2.25" on the 37-up axle.
