Brad Lustig Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 I'm on the hunt for a replacement axle for my D24. I wanted to see if anyone has the measurement for the P15 axle so I can include or exclude them from my search. Mine measures right around 32-3/16 Quote
Old Ray Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Brad, are you measuring at the backing plates, if so there are too many variables, drum width, wheel off set, etc? A better measurement would be at the brake drum wheel-mounting surface, …. the explorer 8.8 is just under 60 inches at the drum face. Quote

Ray...and others..this is a search for just an axle shaft...not entire rear assembly...Brad has wiped a bearing surface and damaged a stop collar on his original..his axle is 32 1/4 C10 sytle..it is a taper axle with a bearing stop collar and 10 spline count... both left and right axles are the same...I was hoping my 50 axles here would help Brad but they are a tad too short and are for approx. 50--62 most applications, maybe even through the end of the taper axle run....in 64 my interchange book doe s not go beyond 62 ...(across the line up 49 year was the most narrow of all the early axles) Edited September 30, 2013 by Plymouthy Adams Quote
Young Ed Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Looks like according to Shel they are the same across the 6cyl powered cars. I think I have a pair out of a p15 in the garage somewhere. I will dig.... Quote

Well, besides the actual axle. Another older tape measured 32-1/4" and the other was just under so I'd say that's the measurement i need to go with Quote
