I have a pair of front end spindles, with drums, that came off of, so i am told, a Rambler. They have a 4 bolt pattern, and were bolted onto a home made axle for my utility trailer.
Hate to throw them away. Anyone know of a place to post them?

Possibly you could offer them up for cold hard cash on the Rambler forum......

Back in the 6os, when they were plentiful in the bone yards,I made countless small trailer
and log splitter axels out of them. I had a standing order at the junk yard for all he got in. I used to just weld them to a pipe or square tube, made a quick and neat job, easy to square up. Never used the brake drums, just the spindle & center hub. The good part was Chrysler or Ford 13", 14" or 15" wheels would work.
There's 3 or 4 logsplitters in the neighberhood I built, still running on them. DAVE

Years back, some of the backyard hot rodders made their own drop axle.

AMC kept the flange stub axle design for years, which makes it really easy to convert to a disc setup off a mid 80"s Spirit/ Concord.
American Motors used a lot of " parts bin engineering" .

Some sites do that to prevent you from posting "drive by ads", meaning only posting the ad and not contributing to the forum.


ETA It's normally post count related, hit so many posts and you can post ads.
