hi guys Thanks for the good answers, ive been in contact to several shops this week and it seems that its way to expencive to restore the stock axle. The cherokee axle is my choice because its nearly the same price. I will pick up the cherokee axle next week from the ebay guy. A friend of mine who is into american cars gave me a modern 12V alternator, thats the project for the weekend.

hi Jeff, I think i will keep searching for an jeep axle, if this wont work, I will do this. I found a cherokee rear axle on ebay germany wich may be the right one, looks really rusty its from a 1992 XJ 4,0 liters. http://www.ebay.de/itm/121289620217?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 The Bolt pattern of my Truck should be 5 on 4.5

hi Klaus, I sent you a privat message, nice to find someone who shares thw same interests and lives so close. Jeff, Thank you for the information. I will see what bolt Pattern my C series Truck has and if it fits with an cherokee axle, tried to find one today but its not easy in Germany. called nearly 40 scrap yards in my area and noone has the axle I need, so i will keep searching.

i have read that the spline count has changed from 10 to 16 splines in 1952 , thank you for the information of the cherokee axle

thank you for the information, i will see if i can get a rear axle like that here in germany i think too that this would be an easy way, but is there no other modification needed like welding something or a adapter for the driveshaft? I know that there are a few B model trucks over here in germany but i have never seen a C series and 54 is the only year with this windshield , 55 has the warped one I think.

hi! I like your Desoto Truck, never seen before i want to keep the truck original so far but add a dual brake master cylinder and change to two cyrcle breaking system for better safety, conversion to 12 volts, new paintjob for the roof to keep the vintage look and I also want to lower the truck with taking leafs out of the springs nand dropping the front axle. do u have experience with thread repairing on axle shafts? i think its not that easy because after welding on material the whole axle shaft has to be hardened again.

Thank you for replying! Ihave the two parts of the shop manual and also the dodge c1 series book, but the rear axle is not explained that good or my english is not good enough..! ive looked around other posts for the rear end and found out that its common to swap with cherokee rear ends on b models. Would a cherokee rear end also fit my model or do someone know where i could find axle shafts that fit?

Hello everybody, Ive wanted to introduce myself to you, i am 24 year old and from Germany, last Year i bought a dodge c1 1954 fluid drive Truck with 6 L-Head engine, now i want to start with the restoration. The Truck is in a pretty solid condition, no rust holes or things like that, after a few trys and some Valve cleaning ive got the engine Running and seemed to be in good condition. The wiring needs to be completley redone and i heve a problem with the rear axle shafts, the threads are totally freyed and i cant find good information or spare parts for the rearend.
