[VAC] Re: Leaf Spring type Axle



Yes, only it's a 10" brake drum.
Henschen Dura-Torque/Flex.
Not exactly 'off-the-shelf', but they assemble to your specs.

The original (1948) axle was long gone - had been replaced a few years ago with a Dexter axle w/10" brakes, but still using the original (1948) leaf-springs.
 
I recently ordered and received the Henschen Dura-Flex axle, with 10" Dexter brakes. I'm replacing the whole 'truck' (what the whole axle/brake/suspension/wheel assembly is called)
with the Henschen system.
 
See previous posting for Henschen contact info.
