unknown front axle, ID needed
This front axle was pulled out of a pile of junk by Jakob Oud in Holland. He would like to know what type of vehicle this originated from.
Wheels are 20 inch, fitted to the drum with 6 studs. Thanks! Hanno

Brakes on the axle?
It looks as if the brakes for this axle might be actuated by the lever projecting from the backing plate above the king pin. It also looks as if the pivots for the lever extend far enough inboard that the brakes would either apply or release as the tires were steered if the lever is actuated by rod linkage or a cable that is anchored to the frame, on the other hand a cable anchored to a bracket on the backing plate might avoid this effect. The same type of linkage could be used for an air brake system but I don't see evidence of the air chambers.....
If I'm right about the mechanical brakes, does this give anyone any ideas about what the axle might be from? In the North American market Ford was later than some others adopting hydraulic brakes for cars, but I' not as sure for trucks.
