I found out while disassembling mine today that they are both shot. The drivers side was galled severly and the passenger side had the grease fitting brazed into place.

You should be able to use any 1-ton spindle from a Bendix type truck 3/4- to light 1-1/2 starting about '52 (need to confirm that with bearing and seal number lookups) through the '55 1st trucks.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 7 | I have 2 new old stock spindles I bought just in case. You can have them for what I gave for them which was under 100 bucks. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | I have one more 1 ton front axle to dismantle tomorrow so I'll know then if I need to keep looking.
