Hot Rods Ford (early) truck axle questions?

I know this topic has been visited before, and I have attempted to glean the information I need from those posts, but a couple questions "linger". Below I have attached a picture of the early Ford axle I acquired several years ago for possible future use. Well...the future is here and I am hoping to use this axle on a somewhat period correct "cut down" modified (street legal) asphalt race car I hope to build. I think this piece came off a Model A or possibly AA truck. The brake drums were what I would call large and had triangular vents in them (wish I had saved them, but one brake shoe is depicted). From what I read, the Model A truck (depending upon year) used essentially the same axle as the car, but when I check the "specs" on the 1928-1931 axles, mines does measure nearly 52" overall and about 36.5" perch width, center to center, but the perch height is 2" by my measurement. The kingpin holes are 50.5" center to center as close as I can measure and the king pin hole (rough measurement) is around .78-.80" diameter. The height at the king pin boss appears to be 2.5". I am wondering first off what I actually have and if I can use it with the later style spindles for the front. I do have split bones with bungs welded in (did it years ago) that take the Ford tie rod ends (11/16 by 18 if memory serves correctly) and I hope to use these bones to locate the axle. Any red flags seen by anyone or issues I have not foreseen? Thanks in advance. Tom in Maine

 

Looks like a standard 33-36 axle, and the 42-48 spindles will work fine.

 

Marty is correct, as usual. Depending on what year wishbones you have, they may fit perfectly or you may need a spacer to take up the slack. The 33-36 axle is thinner at the perch than an A axle or anything later than 36.

 

Thanks for the prompt responses (as well as being accurate...AND encouraging). Always good to learn that what one purchased and set aside a decade ago will work on a project just no being "conjured"!
