It has been sitting in my brothers barn all apart for the last 35 years.The steel is like new. right know my biggest problem, it has no front axle, front springs or hangers on the frame I need to know what years fit this frame, also I would like to put Hyd. brakes on it. Can a later year axle be used? Can the spindles be changed on a 34 axle for Hyd. ? Thanks Fred

I never knew it till i ordered brakes and ling pins, neither fit since I ordered '37 parts.

There looks to be around 20 different axles listed. This would make a great project for someone - an axle interchange chart!! Sid, at droppedaxles.com might be able to shed some light on this. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 47 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 47 | I have a stock '34 axle (car) that had '37 juice brakes adapted to it. I believe it required the spindles as well as the hubs and drums. I think a simple spacer was needed to adapt the spindles at the kingpin. I have since removed the Huck brakes and drums and replaced them with finned Buicks.
