Like the ***le says. Cleaning up shop & trying to rehome parts Im not using in the immediate future. Ive had this old chromed axle complete w spindles, hubs, backing plates drums ect... for a decade or more. I'd thought they were 40 Ford style but after digging them out im not sure. So whats the HAMB consensus ? Are they worth keeping & getting in the hands of a fellow HAMBer, Or just s**** fodder ?
Any idea what application they're good for ? Early Ford hot rod stuff ? In other words who would want these ? I know the axle is trash. I just would rather not trash the whole unit if its something useable.
For pricing/selling… I paid either 150 or 250 for a chrome tube dropped axle with ‘46-8 spindles, only one side had drum/hub ***embly. Other side just the spindle and backing plates. Both backing plates chrome also. Chrome about like yours. I bought a set of ‘46-8 hubs/drums/backing plates. Drums are out of spec and can’t be turned. I think it was around 65/75 plus shipping. I bought a set of ‘46-8 spindles for 125 plus shipping. This was all off the HAMB. So you won’t retire off of what you have, but definitely not for a s**** pile Edit: Tge one hub/drum ***embly on the axle that was complete is ‘39-42? .
39-42 have the inside mount hubs, 46-48 have outside mount hubs. Hard to tell from the photo but if the lower shoe mounts are adjustable on the backing plate they’re 39-42. If they are fixed they are 46-48.
Thats the info I needed ! Im cleaning up around here so I'll list em in the cl***ifieds using that info. Thanks guys, @Budget36 @Hitchhiker ect..
