OK, Not camping related, but I still want your opinions.
I have a 4x8 flatbed trailer that was homemade.
The seller told me it was made from the drop axle out of an old pick up.
I need to replace the lug studs with longer ones to make a wheel spacer work safely, or replace the whole hub.
Of course the studs are thoroughly rusted in place.
Catch is, I have no idea what truck the axle would have come out of.
I am hoping one of you will recognize it.
Here is some info I have:
It seems to be a 5 x 5.5" spacing.
It uses a timkin 1216 bearing for the outer.
I can't get a number off the inner, but I suspect a timkin,if I remember correctly I think I was looking at 1201.
Seems like it would be pre 1970 or so with front drum brakes.
I'm not sure how I can find out where this axle came from, but right now the trailer is out of commission.
I'll gladly accept any ideas you might have, and will try to get any dimensions that might help.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
