I picked up an old trailer from a friend, I am going to convert it to a dump trailer with a different axle . I was wonder if anyone can Identify the the wheels and axle in the pictures? maybe they could be of some use to someone.
The axle, and especially the spindles with their bolt on steering arms look to be Chevy, maybe mid to late ‘30’s. The grease cap has a hex shape to it, like for a threaded cap and it kind of looks like something might be stamped on it. Or is it just rust and corrosion?
Yes the bearing grease cap says Chevrolet. attached a couple more pics. the frame is made partially of a couple frame rails
The rails were rotated 90* toward the inside to construct the trailer, and because what was formerly the top flange is flat I’d hazard a guess the frame was 1932 or earlier. Maybe a Chevy guru will pop in and help.
appears to be a 1928 Chevy axle, Hubs have an adapter plate welded to the Chevy hubs to fit the 5x5 1/2 wheels. thanks for all the help
