It's time to play: "Name That Axle"....

Posted by Hank on Sunday, June 14, 2009 at 20:43:07 :

Everybody’s favorite game, I’m sure!

Our subject today is the 1961 W500, and I need to know what to call these axles. They both have tags, but the data on the tags don’t seem to come outright and say what kind of axles they are, so:

Contestant #1
The Front Axle
Rockwell Standard
(and under that the number) 2225701
Model: FDS750DHX30
Ratio: 6.80
Serial No.: F741232

Contestant #2
The Rear Axle
Casting on the front says “Rockwell Standard”, but the tag itself has only a logo that is an upside down triangle that has the letters “DTA”, the T much larger than the D and A.
Model: W5H140
Ratio: 680
Serial No.: -blank-

I especially need the dust boots for the front axle, they are in pretty bad shape. Anybody know where I might find those?

Thanks!
