    '37-'41 passenger car. Note short distance from kingpin to wishbone intersect.
    Spindle is puzzling, (looks to be earlier, by its backing plate flange)
    Backing plate looks to be '39-'41, by its eccentric bolts at bottoms of shoes

    Looks like 37 and up to 41. Here's a close up of my axle (39 std) but I added the tube shock mount

    To refresh, the spindles are what is important as you need the right length king pin. Looks to be 37-41 round back spindles with 40-41 backing plates (lower brake shoe mounts are adjustable)
