Straight Axle Help?

I NEED SOME HELP GUYS! I HAVE DRUM BRAKES AND SPINDELS AND A STEERING BOX FROM A 1954 FORD PICK UP AND SOMEONE TOLD ME I CAN MAKE THESE WORK ON A CUSTOM SPRING OVER STRAIGHT AXLE.
IAM LOOKING FOR A STRAIGHT AXLE THAT WOULD GO WITH THESE BRAKES BECOUSE THEY ARE SELF ADJUSTING AND THEY ARE JUICE BRAKES.
I WAS LOOKING AT AN AXLE FROM SPEEDWAY PRODUCTS THAT COMES WITH 6" DROP,SPRING OVER,& RADIUS RODS FOR ABOUT $400.00.
COULD I MAKE THESE BRAKES FIT THIS FRONT END. IT IS GOING ON A 1931 CHEVY PICK-UP. IF ANYONE COULD HELP I HAVE NOT DONE A STRAIGHT AXLE YET THNX.

 

As Far As I Know The Brakes Will Fit On A 46-48 Spindle. There Is A Tex Smith Book How To Build A Hot Rod Ch***is And It Shows How To Do The Conversion.

 

THANKS I HAVE ALL THESE PARTS FROM DOING THE CLIP ON MY 54 AND KEPT THEM FOR THIS PROJECT ANYWAYS THANKS AGAIN

 

duplicate posts are not necessary

typing in all capitols is yelling

a 6" dropped axle is not a straight axle.

 

sorry about 2 posts did not know if i was doing it right
i meant straight axle becouse it is not ifs.

 

The correct term... if you are so inclined to want to know what it is... is solid front axle...

thanks sam now i dont have to sound like such an idiot i thought i had it right now i know

 

Your 54 Ford pickup brakes work on Fords from 1928 to 1948, and on the pickups til 1956. those brake shoes fit 1948 to 1966 pickups. 54 wheel cylinders were slightly larger than the other years, may be hard to find that one year only.

 

thanks for the detailed help i will need all this when i tackle it

 

btt

As bad gas stated tex smiths book also gives a good instruction. howver Deuce roadster gives you more options for parts interchangeability utilizig self adjusting brakes
