I usta own a really nice 60 tube axle that had the whole end, including the perch bosses like are broken-off parts on Titus's axle, forged as one. The perch area bosses had a smooth fillet like the Forged I-beam axles do. I sold this axle to Europe and it ended up on a hotrod '34 coupe with a LaSalle grille. They brass plated it I think.

I now own an old hotrod 60 axle, grungy chrome and some extra brackets I cut off, and it has the perch risers made separate and welded on like Titus's. So there are at least two variations on this low-production part.

I've got no idea how they are forged though.
