Smile Early Chev cast axles

Just wondering if anyone can let me have photos and basic measurements of the early Chevrolet one piece cast axles as fitted to the early Ford CMP's until Ford produced their own? A readable tape measure streched over the part and photographed will do fine. I want these so I can scratchbuild some in 1/35 scale for a future project

Default Which Truck Are You Talking About

Hi Cliff and Andrew

Which truck are you speaking of year and size? I understand that you are talking about the Chev front ends used on Fords, from your picture Cliff it looks like a C30 or F30 or possibly C60 or F60 with the small brake drums but what size are the wheels?

What confuses me though is my `41 Chevy Pat 12 C60L has the small drums with originally 16 inch wheels. That housing has the separate front covers and doesn't have all the reinforced areas I'm seeing in your photos.

Pictures of my 41 Chevy Pat 12 C60L http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/P...eRemoveal.html

Cheers Phil

Phil the one's I am after are the Chev axles as fitted to the first run of 'ventless' Fords. I had a 30cwt version in New Zealand 30 years ago which the NZ army had rebuilt with proper Ford axles and 20inch wheels but want to build a 1/35 scale model with everything I can correct. Below is a photo of mine when it was picked up.
