    I found these 3 axles this morning while scrounging around for anything useful. Can any one help ID them and possibly what year they are from? Thank you for any help you can give.

    Does the third one down have juice brakes? If so it is 39-48 Ford, best part of the find. Last one looks to be Model A Ford.

    I appreciate your help with the axle ID.. I dont know what differences each axle has or what brand used what style.. Any clue on the first axle? I was think it looked like a equipment axle or heavy duty truck axle? Thanks again.

    The 37-40 axle would be worth picking up just for the spindles. That's what used on most Ford Rods.

  10. That Coke machine is a desireable item. Worth more than any of the axles to the right person.

    The 37-41 axle is worth taking:

    If the spindles are in good condition they are worth $125 (current eBay average).

    If the wheels are solid they typically sell for $35-50 each. (Ford 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern. 15" or 16" diamiter.)

    Even if the brake drums are shot the hubs will fetch $50. If the drums are good $100.

    Solid backing plates with hardware are worth $100. But the ones in the picture may be to badly rusted to fetch top dollar.

    A premium 37-41 axle is worth $35-$50. A solid Model A axle is worth a little more. Again, the ones in the pictures may be to rusted to attract much intrest.

    Get C-Word to put up a pic of his Coke Machine. I've been trying to find a good one to make a trailer out of for years, but I'm too broke for todays collector market.
