Original 1926 "T" Dirt Car.

It is not a T axle. I have two just like it. They are much heavier and much more stout. The T spindles fit and it is my understanding they were used on many racecars. If my memory hasn't totally left me I think the axle is from an Overland. Somebody on here will remember.

 

Actually those look to be more chevy spindles to me. I used a pair in my T, nice easy way to get and extra inch drop. Can't say anything bout the axle other than I agree its not a T.

 

Yup, those are Chevrolet spindles!

 

Thanks

 

I believe that is an Oakland or Overland front axle. They are a bit heavier than a T and showed up on dirt cars back in the day.

 

great stuff thanks for posting

 

Some of my favorite builders don't even know how to send an email.


BTW....This car is amazing!!! I love reading the history do you have any more?

 

Back up for those who missed it.

 

Here is a "Before" photo from the September 22.1973 Harrah auction catalog. Fourty years ago, and it seams like last month I walked around it. Bob
