Front Axles for 10 bolt Front Hubs-1.5 ton Australian Chevrolet Trucks 1940-1945

[Shaun Mastin]

Hey mate ,
I’m restoring a 1940 chev and it’s got the same part number as you’ve listed

[Bob Carriere]

The front axle for a Chev 1940 series 15 2 ton is 365291.....and they have the Hyatt bicycle ball bearings..... not the Timken rollers.

Shaun....do you have a picture of your front axle / hub / brake drum arrangement???? and do you have a casting number of 1701380 on your brake drum???? thanks

Bob

Here’s some photos I already have , and I can get more in the next few days if you need anything in particular and to get a casting number for you

[Shaun Mastin]

Are these better ?

[Bob Carriere]

..... part number on the cast iron brake drum checks out for all 1940 Chevrolet and Maple Leaf trucks.

What I would like to see, whenever you get to that stage, is a photo of the HUB/adapter that attaches the rim to the brake drum...... should be like this photo.

The larger flange is the rim side 5 bolts .........the smaller flange fits into the brake drum.....and maybe 4 1/4 inches flange to flange.

Have you looked for a raised part number inside the front beam axle????***** ANSWERED IN A PREVIOUS POSTING

Thanks

Probably have to wait till I take the wheel off if I can’t see any numbers with it on , but I do have a spare set off my 1943 lend lease chev I can check aswell

These are a couple of spare sets I got with my truck
