Straight axle identification.
So we got this "other" brand of truck home. From what I have been able to find out is it most likely has a ford straight axle underneath it. So is there any identification to determine between straight axle brands of the era?
After researching some straight axle tech, each brand had different angles built into the axle for wheel geometry for the spindle. I would think if it is a ford axle then a ford spindle should be correct fitment and geometry. the purpose is to get away from a 6x7 bolt pattern.
