Hot Rods Help with identity of odd parts attached to my new 37 chevy frame

I did a little horse trading for a 1937 chevy coupe frame that has been hot rodded some time in its distant past. The front axle and differential has been swapped out along with engine and trans. I bought the frame to correct some early 80s bad decisions I made( pre aftermarket mustang II swap ) Non of the parts in question really matter for the direction I am going with the frame but curiosity has got me. Due to the nuts on the axle shafts I am guessing the differential to be early ford or mopar. notice the odd steering arm mounting to the spindle on the front axle. Any help

 

The rear end is mopar 8-3/4 from the early 60s I think. The front...I don't know, but it's not chevy......my first guess is Ford Econoline van.

 

I think the front end is a Ford F1.

I think you're right.

 

Has some value, then, doesn't it? At least for brakes for an early Ford rod -

 

Yup, that front axle is 48-52 F1. Those spindles will work on 28-48 Ford front axles.

 

Definitely not a chevy front axle

8 3/4 was my first guess on the differential . Due to how

Thanks for putting me on the right track, after squirrel said the front axle might be econoline I did a google picture search . The steering arms looked right but the backing plates were different . F1 was close but again the backing plates were different , from matching google images I think the axle is 42 - 47 ford pick up. Thanks to all for the help.
