40's midget race car spindle ID

Me & Jr are working on the Joe Barzda midget & need help to ID the spindles used. They have Ford bearings, look kinda Ford but are way shorter than a Ford. Photos have a crusty Ford spindle in them to give you an idea of the difference. Also have an odd 6 pin hub that looks made up. My first midget project so I'm not super educated on what was used.

 

For some reason I'm thinking Willy's... Ford's cut down to fit Willy's hubs maybe?.... I have a couple of them that look like that....

 

Are the 4 brake mtg. holes the same pattern between the Ford and (?) spindle? I really don't know for sure, but I suspect a Willys spindle would have a different pattern than a Ford. (?)

 

I do believe they are the same. Zach, the rear drums are for sure Jeep so you may be onto something...thanks!

 

BTW I dont think they are cut down Ford as the taper on the shaft is way different.

 

Larry this is just a cut down Ford spindle where the snout was shortened. Check the king pin for .812 and the spread of the backing plate bolts 3/8" x 3". If that is the measurement that what you have.
