Yes, No or Maybe.

I recently picked up a 51 Mercury roller .... frame number. PFA83BH51.
Question 1,,,, Is the straight front axle the same as the F1
2 ... Are the front wheel spindles the same as the F1
The front brake drums are 12inch inside dia, which look like they've never been machined,
one is good and the other has water damage, ie rust pits here and there. Brake shoes are all good.
Are they worth anything?
Thanks for your answers.
Geoff.

48-52 F1-3 trucks have the same front axles, spindles and steering components.

A few little rust pits won't harm in much. Clean them up and run them
