Question about 32-34 spindles
What is the purpose of the heavy bars attached to the kingpins in the '32-34 spindles in the photo. Thank you.

Perhaps it was a way of making shock mounts

The bars are certainly not stock '32-'34 Ford parts.

And as such, the MYSTERY piece should stay stationary with the king pin, as the king pin is locked-in with the axle, keeping it from rotating when the spindles 'turn'. With that mystery piece remaining stationary, the brake BACKING PLATE(s) will hit it (them) when making a turn. DD |

Re: Question about 32-34 spindles
Well, just the king pins. Those bars could have been used to hang them from somewhere. If otherwise in good shape and reasonable enough I would pick them up. They will new king pins due to what was done to them.
Come to think about it, I wonder if they were used in some type of trailer set up. Those bars could have been used to lock them down straight. |
