auburnseeker Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 You could post over on the Hamb as well. With those guys rodding good original cars, seems like they might have or know someone that has one in the pile of original parts they tore out of their projects.

JayG Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have a 31 series 50 Buick front axle. Maybe someone can tell you if they interchange. I don't have any manuals to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 What about changing out the spring/ springs with something like a posies reverse eye or mono spring if you can't find the axle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I wasn't implying you were new to it. i just made a suggestion that possibly a readily available part could be bought to achieve the same effect so you didn't have to modify the original as was your original intention in case you couldn't find an axle to modify.

JayG Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Here's some pics of the Buick axle. It's about 50 1/2 inches to centers of spindle bolts and 26 1/2 to centers of springs. Crusty dirt and grease will cleanup. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
