Thread: Juice Brakes to Early Ford Axle

Tweet

Howdy Gents....It's been awhile. Back to earlier question: Lots of info out there about using the Car spindles from '32 on up including what bearings to use, etc. But I have confirmed that I have some spindles from a '46-'47 1/2 ton P/U that seem like they'll work. I have the '55 drums and backing plates, and wonder if those P/U spindles are the same as that from a car. Anybody? TerryOMT

Hi Terry,
I still do not know about your 55 spindles but why don't you see if you can install them on your axle and if you can; the next step is to see if they will function properly with the rest of steering parts and suspension. I am surprised no one else has chimed in on this. I am sure however that your 55 brakes can be adapted to your existing spindle.

Jack.
