if no body knows, the guys on rat rods rules are really good at identifying stuff.

 

look under the back of a big truck 18 wheeler or its trailer
thy look like the ends of air brake chambers
you could probably pick some up for free at a truck repair shop be careful tearing them down there a large spring in side

 

Don't even think about taking those maxi-brake chambers apart unless you know exactly how to dis-***emble them. Those springs in there are designed to hold the weight of semis, dump trucks, etc. That spring will come flying out of the chamber and tear your head off!

 

flyboy 89 does the top of his air cleaner not look like the ends of a 30-30 brake chamber

also he is right:
there usley a 4"bolt with tangs in the side that comes out and goes in the rear hole to "cage the brakes" once thats done it OK to dismantle

 

contact the ebay seller, he may know exactly what they are.

 

I did contact him...no info.

 

G***er1, they do. Those are either steel or heavy duty aluminum.. Its been so long since I've messed with them, I've forgotten.

 

I will have to check IHC dealer here and see if he has some laying around might be something I could sell on ebay

 

Look to be from airbrakes.
