Is therea difference in the fromt axle of a 53 half ton and a 57 half ton, both chevy. My brother has a complete axle with springs and drums just sitting around and I thought if they were the same it would be nice to have a spare.

Hy basham, I would suspect that the holes for the "U" bolts will not be in the same place, the 53 frame is tapered over the front axle, the 57 frame rails are parallel above the front axle, that doesn't even take into account possible track width differences, hope that helps.

They are much wider.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
