Help me identify these spindles and rearend

I am doing some work on a customers car and I'm having some trouble identifying these. The car if it helps is a T bucket originally built in the mid 70s. We are looking at swaping the front drums for discs and I need to do some work on the rearend.

The bolt pattern is the same front and rear at 5 on 4.75"

The bolt pattern on the spindles is 3.125"x3.875"

There is 10 studs on the rear differential.

Let me know if you need anymore pictures or measurements.

 

GM brake drums. look like spindles are early Chevy and rear axle is tri 5 to me, but have to guess with pictures. Tom S. in Tn.

 

Looks Chevrolet to me.

 

first guess would be Chevy car, 51-54 spindles/front brakes, and 55-57 rearend.

 

The differential housing is '57 only
chevy it has the drain plug where '5 and '6didn't.

 

Thanks guys! I am always in awe of the wealth of knowledge on the HAMB.

Is there a better way to identify the front spindles to really get it narrowed down before we start buying parts?

 

see if they look identical to this?

The truck spindles from that era look similar, but different...I don't know what else it could be, really

 

That looks like them. Thanks guys!

 

....... I never knew that.

You could buy custom tube axles made up using either early Ford or the 49-54 Chevy spindles back then. Pretty sure these are the 49-54 Chevy spindles.
