Ok, I have a pair of spindles that were loose, don't remember where I got them, they are the same as the others that I just pulled off the 49-54 passenger car front end. Then I have the ones that were on the axle which are different.

So think I remember hearing that something like 47-51 the spindles wear unique and then from 52-54 they were the same as the passenger car, anyone have any info on this? I don't have any memory of where I got this axle so I have no idea of the year.

I plan on running the passenger car ones so I can have 5 lug.
