help me identify this tube axle

Me and a buddy were out junkyarding this weekend and stumbled on this tube axle. The tube diameter is 2 1/4" and measures 48" from the center of one kingpin to the center of the other kingpin. Any one have any idea what this might have come off of or if it's some aftermarket axle?

Hey loser dude,.......... yer' picture didn't load,.......

 

I'm working on figureing this picture posting thing out.

 

you cannot direct link to pics ON your computer... you need to upload them to the HAMB or to a photo hosting website then link them here

 

Here you go Dude......




it has some crap welded to it but, what is it from?

 

here are few more

 

Mopar, circa '37-'38

Cool axle and backing plates!

 

That things ugly, but those backing plates kick ass.

 

Thanks for posting those pics Wrench Bender, as you know I'm computer illeritate. Thanks guys for the help identifying this axle.

 

Plymouth. They made 2 like that, one for cars and one for trucks. Truck one is pretty big though....

 

so now the question is.. what are you going to put it in?

 

That Ones A Plymouth ..... They Arent Ugly .. Was Gonna Run One In My Daughters "t" But The Machinest At Work Screwed It Up !!

If Ya Open The King Pin Holes For Ford Pins.... Ford Spindles Go Right On With A Lil Clearancing On The Spindle For Axle Clearance ... They Even Have The Correct King Pin Angle ...

 

Looks like my 37 plymouth axle. Could be more specific with measurements from center of spring pad to center of spring pad

 

Where's a good place to get new king pins & bushings for one of these axles?

 

Anyone know?

 

I know you can get brake parts at NAPA.

 

I vote for 37-38 Plymouth/Dodge also.

What, was it a tow bar or something?

 

Early 30's plymouth as DESOTO said, Ive got 2........

 

But what about king pin kits?

 

hey,,, worst case scenario you have to take the axle and spindles to a machine shop and have a set of kingpins made to fit... seems to me that the ford kingpins would slide right in if you made the changes to use the ford spindles

 

I'd like to keep the original spindles.

Anyone know the actual specs for kingpins (material, hardness, heat treat specs)?

 

This guy has king pins ...
