please identify front end /spindle !!

Any idea what these are from??
Sorry for the horrible pics!

 

hard to tell with such small pictures...maybe you could compare with this, this, and this,

these are 1959 chevy truck front brakes, 6 lug, but you can swap 51-54 car 5 lug hubs onto them. Most 1940s-50s trucks axles look pretty similar to these, measring the bolt patter of the wheels would be a help in identifying what you have.

 

I have some better pictures now. The bolt pattern is 5 X 4.75"

 

maybe one of those mid 60's chevy vans....??? brandon

 

looks like a 51-59 chevy truck, with the car hubs/drums on it.

51-55 axle is 52.25" long, 55-59 axle is 56.25" long.

55-57 axle has 2.125" tall ends, 58-59 axle has 2.5" tall ends

 

Thanks.

 

Chevy Truck/car 35-early 40's Even Some 50's Possibly If It Has 6 Holes In Axle Were The Spring Go's It Is 3/4 Ton Truck If 4 Holes Then 1/2ton Truck Or Master Car

 

the brakes are the self-energizing type, the backing plates on the 1950 and older cars/trucks are different than shown in his pictures....so I still say it's 51-59 truck

 

So, the adjustable drag link end is used thru '53 ... must be '51-'53 3100 axle with '51 up p*** drums ... unless it's '51 up brakes on earlier spindles - requires only drilling the lower 4 holes to 1/2". Spring center bolt hole measurement will tell you for certain.

 

I didn't catch the drag link, thanks!

 

Thanks guys, no wonder I could not I.D. it!

 

I got a 1949 Chevy straight axle out of a friends panel delivery when he subframed that panel. Anyway, the straight axle listed in these pics looks exactly like it. Same drums, links, tierod ends & the axle itself & steer stop looks exact & mine is 1949 chevy straight axle.

 

that's pretty strange, because Chevys used different brakes in 49. Maybe someone upgraded it

 

Where would you use something like this?

 

a friend of mine got one of those axles dropped and drilled and put it under the front of his 31 chevy...with 51-54 car hubs/drums so it would match the 5 lug 56 chevy rearend.

I've also seen them under the front of newer Chevys

 

They are available under the for sale section.

 

I have dis***embled the axle and would like to know if anybody can tell me more about the hubs and there year/ origin, thanks!

 

they look like 1951-54 Chevy car hubs and drums.

 

Are these interchangable with '54 or newer hubs? Would these hubs fit on spindles from a '57 car or truck?

 

these hubs fit on 4x-59 trucks, and 49-54 cars, I'm pretty sure. But they need to be used with the 51 and newer backing plates

 

Thanks!

 

Squirrel to da rescue...awesome bro. I got a question for ya. 56 drum/hub ***y, will it also fit the truck spindle?

 

55-64 car spindles are different than truck spindles, no the 56 car hub won't fit the truck. the 56 car drum will fit on the 51-54 car hub, then you'll have what you need to convert a 50s truck to 5 lug
