Is there a difference in 1938-41 Willys car and pickup front beam axles? I am looking for one for a car, and was wondering about possible differences in kingpin width, spring mount centerlines, shape, thickness, etc?? Any help with the difference (if any) would be appreciated.
What he said... Have seen some difference in the tie rod ends, but doesn't seem to effect the axle placement, and use. g-willys
37-38 have 1" more drop than the 39-42, The 37-38 use a dog-legged tie rod end for spring clearence. Also there are 2 different in the shock mounts.
37&38 axles have more drop. Thats why they have a drop in the tierod end. Its obvious if you lay them side by side.
