WTB Truck front axle

[AndyB462]

Hey everyone. In the middle of tearing down my '47 truck. The Dana front axle had a "trail fix" to the passenger side lower kingpin bearing race mount due to a failed driveshaft ~60 years ago. The truck hasn't been used much at all since this repair.

Its functional, but I'd like to replace the housing if possible.

Does anyone have a truck front axle they'd be willing to part with? I really only need the housing, but would take a whole assembly.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Andy

Andy,

We'll keep an eye out for one for you. Every once in a while they come up for sale or trade.

Wow, a '47 truck!

Most trucks that old were run to death and got turned into Chevy Vegas (a heck of a fate). The "Bubba" repair was probably the thing that saved it; too good to throw away but not quite good enough to drive around.

My truck is a '48 2WD - there are not many pre-'50 trucks around. Post us some pictures - I would like to see the small differences between the '47 and he '48 trucks.
