Nobody!!???

 

my first instinct is f1 or f100
but i may be wrong

 

im thinking its a truck too...anybody else have a guess?

 

What he said.

 

48-52 F1 axle had shocks mounted on axle pins similar to that one...all others from 53 up to the twinIbeam had various U-bolt mounted shock brks without the axle holes.

The F100 axle had a dip in the center as well...but I've been told the F1 didn't.
I BELIEVE Chevy/GMC stubby vans had U-bolt brks as well so they're out.

Kingpin hole diameter could narrow it down for you, but I don't have that info handy myself. Someone will most likely know if you post it though.

 

Here's a '53-'56 F-100 axle that I'm polishing. You can see that it has a dip in the center.

it's not a 50s chevy pickup, they dont have the shock bolts on the axle like that.

I looked in the chevy van shop manual from 66, no clear pics, the shocks do attatch around the same place, but I could not find any good enough photos in it to say for sure either way.

My guess is a 60s van, maybe dodge or econoline, but that's just a guess.

 

I'm thinking F1 too, because of the shock pi, but see if you can measure kingpin angle and diameter. Every pickup axle made since front brakes became a fad looks just like that...

 

awesome..i just checked on this thread..so i havent seen all yur guys posts...but i will take all of what u guys said into consideration..the main reason im asking is so i can find some spindles that will fit..but thanks i will do what i can too figure it out...

Looks identical to the 48 Ford truck axle that came out of Cory's truck. HRP
