ID this axle

My friend Dale - Micamountain on here - asked me to post these photos in the hopes someone can id the axle. Kingpin centres are 50.5 inches apart, and spring pads are 27.75 inches apart. Dale might use the axle on his 35 Pontiac three window coupe to build it g***er-style. Any ideas?

 

WAG,,,,,Mopar

 

Anybody help Micamountain out?

 

Try looking at early 30s dodge trucks, thats what it looks like to me.

 

Your axle is a 1927 or 28 Dodge car axle. Pretty positive on that one.

 

I've been searching for one of those axles for a while for my 1922 Dodge----but I need it complete with the hubs and drums.

 

When did they quit running wood wheels with no brakes?

 

Hi all.... thanks for all info and certainly looks to be Mopar, just found a couple of photos for
30/31 Dodge looking same so maybe 1927 up ?.... I also need drums and all but now
on track, mostly a Ford guy !!

 

Use something you can find parts for ,using that will get you nothing but grief.

 

might be dodge. I have a dodge car axle and it is round tube with a bend to clear a oil pan.

 

I believe 1927 was a split year. I think the 1st part they still had no front brakes and the second half they had these. 1926 Certainly still had no front brakes. They used both wood spoke wheels and large solid disc wheels for years.

 

Take note of the way the spindle mounts to the axle. Dodge axles after 1928 used normal reverse Elliot axles instead of the Elliot type axle like the one you have. An Elliot axle has the axle forking off on the end and going over the spindle, and the Reverse Elliot has the spindle going above and below the axle.
So, If your Dodge axle was made before 1926 it wouldn't have brakes at all, and if it were made after 1928 it wouldn't have the Elliot type spindle attachment. You have a 1927 or 1928 Dodge axle.

 

Carlisle1926 - thanks for the info you have supplied here!

 

You might be able to fit disc brakes to the spindles.There are kits available for certain years.

 

Just curious if you ever figured out what year or years this axle is ....I have one just like it that is under an old utility trailer that was built in a prison in the 50s....not sure if anybody wants it
