Measurements....
My Outer bearing location on the spindle......0.848 factory 0.8427 to 32
Inner bearing location on the spindle.........1.413 factory 1.4051 to 56
That makes my spindle on the worn side but.......
....it is listed on page 34 as conventional..... heavy duty..... and my spare axle has the proverbial ball bearing bicycle bearings.
So it remains that the only other axle with larger spindle seems to be the COE which might have the roller bearings.....Hyatt Barrel roller.....
I have been working and learning by taking apart a spare front axle which according to the cast number on the I beam was made for 1946 to 51.....
I have yet to fully examine the actual axle of the targeted 1940 1 1/2 ton Chev that is still frozen hard to the ground with 12 to 18 inches of snow and ice around it.
