Real names and places
Hi Austin:
What Bob is trying to hint at is that this is a forum where we use our real names and hometowns... if you are a bit shy you can euphemistically state that you are somewhere near Toronto or Vancouver or whatever. We are a friendly bunch here and welcome all military vehicle enthusiasts, we just avoid being a mystery to each other... thats the way we started when our lamented Giff created the forum and it seems to work for us. So, tell us a bit about yourself and your project and we'll all chip in to help!  Mike

CMP Axles
Hi Austin and welcome to the forum!
There are two families of axles and two sub-sizes: Ford and Chev each made their own axles (Fords are split around the pumpkin and Chevs are made like a banjo with front and back covers bolted on). The axles were made in two sizes: light and heavy. Light axles were used on trucks up to 15 hundredweight (CWT)- about 1 ton. Heavy axles were used on all bigger trucks. Some pictures will help us suggest where you can find the parts you need. Mike

Still puzzled....
Hi Austin
The first picture has me baffled. Second one is the rear axle brake drum which could be Ford of Chev. You say you axles have teh split design so that makes them definitely Ford. The issue here is that even Chev axle with the central banjo share the same outboard steering mechanism. The cage in the first picture must come from the inside of the steering knuckle of the front axle. There were two basic design the A model whichis much simpler and far more common on CMP trucks Ford ro Chev. The you have the B model which is also known as the R-Zeppa model and is usually found on early CMP models...... they are made like a fine Swiss watch. The cage you have shown does not look like any of the two above design. Would love to see more pictures of the axle that has been taken apart. Maybe some else can chip in with identification.... I am stumped !!! Bob

i took the whole front end apart thats why i took the picture of the rear axle. and i found that cage in the front knuckle, it is quite broken. cage has 6 openings, 2 wider than the others (while playing around i found that the wider ones are so i can roll the other piece inside).

Bob and Austin
Firstly, Austin, welcome to the forum. Your on the right one.
This is the cage from a Rzeppa joint. I would be concerned about the rest of the joint, having seen this. They are the same type (bigger of course) as some of the WWII jeeps (and dodges)
