I'm glad all you rich upper crust types don't have to worry about these things like we poor working stiffs. :)
(I do honestly appreciate the advice, however, don't think I don't. Turns out Fayette is still in business and actually still selling parts for them in some cases, however. I do agree they are typically comprised of Unobtanium, however, though not as much as we thought, evidently.)

For posterity and anyone that tunes in later looking for information: These 2 3/4" axles, with the 1.732" spindles, are 4400lb axles. Hooray! I was wanting that most of all. I have brakes on both, which is what made me think it.
If Fayette cannot supply what someone needs, Redneck Trailers or Vintage Camper Sales might. In fact, on the latter, which sells both the right and left handed bolts, depending upon availability, plus various other brake parts, etc. I actually scored 3 RH bolts earlier today, at 5$ each. It's all they had. The left-handed go for $15.
I've got them looking for me another, as well as some of the refractor springs on the brakes, after which, I think I'm good to go... until funds allow for a swap on the hubs, which actually may be sooner than I had suspected. Turns out there are some easy swaps for them without much more hassle, though they "ain't cheap," either. :)
The rest, given how slowly I drive under something like this, how much under weight I'll come in at, and with some stabilizer bars, the rest shouldn't be too hateful, given--again--how little it will ever be on the road. I had an old one once before, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with those aspects of it--over 60mph, it gets hairy; under, I sailed, usually, and behind a 79 Sierra inline six.
Thanks, again, to everyone.
Your money, waste it if you wish..
Someday, regret it when things goes sideways.
For the record, I am NOT "made of money".
However, my Dad taught me well in mechanics, electrical, plumbing and many other trades and my Mom, taught me well in saving money..
All of the above wisdom has served me well, allowing me to save by doing things myself without trapping myself into a money pit..
Fall into the pit if you wish, don't grumble to me later on down the road when your unobtainium luck runs out.
You are just a another fool playing games shooting messengers here when they don't give you the answers you wish to hear.. I will further ignore your requests for help :B
