1932-1940 Ford Rear Axle Shafts

[stavanzer]

I've been searching for a couple good Photos of the axle shafts of early Fords. '32-'40. I want to try to scratch build a couple of the shafts. I can just wing it, since they are so small in 1/25 scale, but I'd like to at least come close to what they look like. The pics pics I get on Google always seem to be the whole axle, not the shaft.

Maybe I'm just not searching for the correct words.

Thanks!

It's for a truck but should be the same, unless it's for a 1 1/2 ton truck and then it's just larger. I can check my fathers this weekend if you want, he might have one out that I can take some pics of.

I can’t imagine them being much more than 1” diameter (.040” in 1/25 scale) or 1-1/4” (.050”). The e-bay ad says 36-9/16” length, which would be 1-7/16” in scale.

The fifth one from the right almost looks like the axle

Thanks, Guys!

This is perfect. I will use these pics to try to scratch build something.
