Here is the diagram I made | | |

I've got almost a complete front end in the shop extra. I've got springs,axle, spindles,hubs and brakes along with spring mounts. If you can wait till tomorrow I'll check the mesurements and let you know.

For anyone else wondering it looks like the measurements Bluepen took from his 1946 1/2 ton spindle/knucle match up with my 1941 3/4 ton. Good news for anyone who has an art deco 3/4 ton and wants some options to switch to disc brakes!  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 | Excellent drawing 41.

I also posted BluePen's updated drawing on which he added the bearing lip I had left off and on one or two measurements found 1/32 diff from mine. (which I wrote off as my cheap measurement caliper or wear or both) BluePens 1/2 ton measurements | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 151 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 151 | Glad I could help out and hpoe it works out for you.
