Will the axle bells off a 1934 fit on a 1948 center section with the 1948 gears and bearings? Thanks.

I'm 99.9% sure they will not fit. Things changed in 35. Most parts 35-48 are (sort of) interchangeable. 32-34 V8 stuff is similar, but different enough to make swapping difficult.

There were different carrier bearings between the two different center sections and bells so it would be rough to try a conversion unless your a machinist with lots of experience and even then there would likely be an easier way to get what you are looking for.

the later center section is wider, this will change the radius rod position and the axles will be too short so it wouldn't be a bolt together thing.

Mart nailed it.
