Recognize these spindles?

1 Attachment(s)

Does anyone recognize these spindles and brakes? They're on a 37-41 axle. They're meant for an axle with a different kingpin inclination so I plan to swap them for 37-41 spindles. Will I be able to make the brakes and hubs work?

Yes; the F-100 brakes will fit using a 14116 inner bearing and a 473441 or 450461 seal along with a little grinding on the top of the spindle flange.

Hopefully they used thicker bushings and an earlier kingpin instead of enlarging the axle boss and using the bigger F-100 kingpin.

Our common old Ford I-beams use an 0.8125" king pin. The "F-100" king pin is 0.861" diameter.
