Sam Buchanan Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) The threads on one of the rear axles on my '48 P15 have suffered considerable abuse and are pretty thin. Where would be a good place to look for a replacement axle shaft or can a machine shop weld and rethread the axle? Anyone have experience with a similar situation?

Dodgeb4ya Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 All 1937-48 MoPar six cars use that same axle...very common axle... someone has a good one. Quote
Sam Buchanan Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Posted May 13, 2019 That's good to know, I'm sure one will turn up if/when I decide to replace the one I have....just not sure the threads will hold full torque next time I pull the drum. Quote

Sharps40 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Op. Pm me for phone number. . I live in nc. Currently up in va taking care of mom but have a 37 dodge in the shop here. Dont need the rear axle and hoping to get time to grab it for parting out. Shop is moving and i asked them to hold it so i can pick up...we have to work out the details but it should still be waiting for me as they are still moving the restorations to the new building. You are welcome to some or all of it for the cost of your gas to come to nc and pick it up. Its complete hub to hub and 4.1 to 1 ratio. Not sure what fits what but thats just a research issue. We can chat details on the phone. Edited May 13, 2019 by Sharps40 Quote
