What years are the parts interchangeable, and thru what years are the widths the same. I have an AD front axel I could use in a 41, but not sure if they are the same thing? Thanks in advance! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Tomcoe, according to my parts book the 1 1/2 ton front axle is the same from 1941 to 1951. Do you know what year and size of truck your axle is from? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 584 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 584 | Awe sweet. Yes, it is a 1950, so we should be good. Does that mean hub to hub is the same, bearings brakes, etc? That would be nice.

If they have the same kingpin diameter you could swap spindles and all the other stuff between axle beams.
