Rear Axle dimensions - 1936 Dodge pick up

[dodgedave68]

HI -

 

Looking for measurements - 1936 dodge 1/2 ton

spring perch center to center

axle flange to axle flange

 

 Ive read states that 1936 are 59.00 flange to flange, and 1937 are 60 inches from flange to flange

I need a new housing for my LC, and I guy as a 1937 CAR rear axle

 

unfortunately springs are off right now, so cant tell perch to perch measurement either

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!

The differential case, the carrier and housing for the differential that bolts to the front of the axle housing, is the same.

so 37 PLYMOUTH cars are different than 36 LC? 

 

[Spinneyhill]

Yes, same as '37 Dodge car.
