Front Axle Help Needed
-
Hi everyone,
Total newbie and mostly ignorant.
My question concerns the use of I-Beam suspension on Chrysler Products.
I recently acquired two old front axles and the first I found to be from a 34 Ford, the second I have been TOLD is from a Dodge of some sort. It is a standard I-Beam with the small pattern five lug wheel pattern. The flat spot where the leaf springs mount has a five hole pattern which looks like the "5" on a dice. I have been told by some people that Dodge used mainly tube axles before going to independent front suspension so what could this possibly have been under?
Was there a time period where Dodge cars and pickups used I-Beams? If so what years would this have been? Thanks for any help and good to be on the forum.
