Technical T-bucket axle weight

Wondering what might be typical weight of a stripped dropped I-beam axle as found on a t-bucket or similar. Curious how much overweight my chubby mystery axle might be. Trying to manage unsprung weight. Thanks.

 

A model A axle total bare is around 19 lbs I believe

 

Weighed some axles the other day to answer a question.

'33-'36 axle = 22.3 lbs
'32 axle = 24 lbs
"A" axle = 20 lbs

 

Can't answer your question, but if you are a fan of drilled axles, it looks like you have a perfect candidate for lightening holes!

 

Don't you have a bathroom scale to find the weight for your self ?

 

So, what does your axle weigh?

 

That is a parallel leaf axle that is probably out of a pickup but could be out of a car with parallel leaves. You can poke around on Sid's dropped axle site and probably get a good idea of what it started life in before it was dropped. Measure the center of spring pin to center of spring pin holes and compare.

There was/is a guy in the Cle Elum Wa area who built a couple of wild T buckets back about 30/40 years ago with a similar axle with the batwing setup bolting to the Ubolt holes in the axle.

 

isn’t going to help him if he doesn’t have an A axle to weigh. He wasn’t asking what his existing axles weighs

 

Regardless of the difference, I wouldn’t think it would affect handling and/or drive characteristics, unless you are doing 170mph turns.

 

Plenty of old Ford axles out there; no sense messing around with an unattractive Micky Mouse truck axle set-up.

 

He wants to know how much overweight his axle is compared to others. he needs to know the weight of his axle to answer his question.
