'48 Ford Pick up brakes on 29 "A"?

I just scored a front and rear axle from a 48 pick up, complete with brakes and steering. I have a couple questions:

Can I just knock the kingpins out of the '48 front axle and swap the whole mess, spindles and all, to the "A" axle?

In the rear: Can I use the backing plates and then find a set of p***enger car drums to use? Or better yet, use my existing drums off the "A"?

Thanks In Advance

 

i'm using 51 ford truck brakes and spindles on the front of my heap. i just mounted the whole ***embly on the older axle. it's just that easy up front.

Use the complete 48 rear axle

 

Does your heap have a model A axle?

 

I would, 'cept for I dont want an open drive line

 

Is the '48 Pick up the same as a '49 thru '52 F1 with paralell leaf springs?

 

Its got paralell leafs, but thats all I know.

 

Yes, 48 is the first year of the F1.

 

Ok.

Well, to answer my own question. By simple tape measure mathmatics, the rears will not fit! GREAT! Anyone want a complete 48 F-1 rear axle for CHEAP!

 

If you're being serious, I might be able to use it. Sending you a PM!
