    Looks like 35-36 spindles. Cross steer puts it after 34 but before the round back 37's
    The last one is an 'A' spindle

    Good call. More looking and they aren't trimmed.
     
  5. Get your ruler ready. My '36 spindles measure 4 5/16" center to center of opposite holes and 3.049" center to center of adjacent holes.

    The bottom spindle is probably Econoline.

    Thanks guys!

    Another question, Is the axial bearing supposed to be on top of the 35-36 spindle?

  7. If you're using all '36 parts (spindle, kingpins, etc.) the answer is yes.

    WHAO! You can't use 1937-41 king pins with 35/36 spindles. The bearing load is placed upon the king pin upper cup in a 35/6, If you use the later king pins that washer is only crimped on to hold the dust /grease cover and will not support the bearing load and potentially pop off. If you are going to all this trouble installing a new axle do your self a favor and use the better 37-41 spindles or the 42-48 ones.

    Thanks for saving me alot of trouble in the future.

    I dident intend to use these spindles. I just had them lie around so i figured to ask since i dident know what model they were.

    I've brand new 37-41 spindles for my superbell axle.
