The Chevy cars of those days had axles that could be repaired with a bushing. I am under the impression that the axle would be turned down and the bushing pressed on.I have an axle like that on my 38. I have the bearings and the bushings. Chevs of the 40s has those for the cars. I am wondering if one took one of those bushings and bearings for a car to a machine shop, they could make one for the truck. The matched set for the car would demonstrate the clearance needed for the bearing.
