Spinneyhill Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The Hollander tells us about axle shafts only. The '36-38 Com'l 1/2 ton uses an axle that interchanges with Chrysler '36 6-C7, 8-C8 Airst. DeSoto ''36 Dodge '36 D2 Dodge 36-38 LC, MC, RC, Com'l Fargo '36-38 FG1-16, FG1X-16 Plymouth '36 P1, P2 Plymouth '37-38 PT50, 57 1/2T. The axles are 31.5" long, 1-10 spline. The '37 Dodge car axle is 1-10 and 32.25" long. So, where is the extra length? Maybe the whole axle housing will interchange... but need the spring perch measurement!

Spinneyhill Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The differential case, the carrier and housing for the differential that bolts to the front of the axle housing, is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
