Just posted in the "Parts Wanted" forum about this, but thought I'd throw it out here, too.
The axle I've got has spun the race off more than once - just doesn't fit tightly enough. From what I've seen, the race is part of the axle, not a separate part number. The axle looks to be a fairly specific application for '41-'46 1/2 ton only - the bigger trucks use a different axle. The 1/2 ton axles are apparently made out of unobtainium.
Worst case I'm thinking about putting a few spot welds to hold the race in place - last time I used Permatex green sleeve dressing and it lasted about 3000 miles. Yesterday it spun off and I had to disassemble on the side of the road to drive it back on and limp home - no fun. Any leads or suggestions would be most welcome.
