Pull off a brake drum and lets see whats under there Mike. Definitely not a GPW backing plate.
I started adding some basic electricity to the “motor pool” barn where the Jeep is parked so I can work out here and actually be able to see, ha! I have these old green porcelain lights I’ve hoarded for years. I’ve got one more to put over the workbench area.
Those lights are so nostalgic! I remember those big fixtures from when I was very young hanging around the shops and factories. They look perfect in the barn.
I'm digging the lights. Very appropriate for the motor pool.
As far as the brake conundrum, it looks to me like International Scout brakes.
As an example;

Thanks fellas! I really like the look too! Added one more over the workbench and moved some stuff around this weekend. It’s pretty good light for 3 100W LEDs! (I wish the pics would post more clearly! I’m a picture nerd!)
Oh that’s interesting? I just assumed they were from a later Jeep vehicle? Guess I’ll have to expand my search a bit, ha!
Mike, all Dana axles were marked with a Bill of Material and a serial number. They can be very, very difficult to find on a heavily rusted axle but, they are always there. Sometimes forensic techniques are needed to see them. They were stamped in by hand on the assembly line. I have used varying ways to uncover them. Most people give up too early. The numbers are always there and always very hard to see. A thorough cleaning and carefully polishing of the area where the numbers should be usually reveals the indentations. If you are successful in finding the numbers, I can tell you what parts were used to build the entire assembly, when it was built and for what customer.
