1930's Ford Axle and Wheels???

[LewisBrookshire]

I need some help from the Gearheads. I bought the beginnings of a utility trailer a while ago and was going to finish it out myself. Well recently I was told that it looks like someone took the front end off of an old 1930's Ford and built this trailer with. They said the axle, springs and wheels look 1930's original. I was hoping one of you guys could tell from these pictures if that is the case. And secondly if it is would it be worth anything??

So is it just the wheels that are 30's Ford? What about the spindles, axle and springs?

Definitely from early to mid 30's.
Should be able to get $25-30 for each hubcap alone.
I think the wheels are around 50-70 each.

They must have welded the steering in place to get it to track right, so don't know if you would get much for the rest.

I will probably just keep it and turn it into a trailer if that is all it worth. I thought it might be worth more than that. Thanks for the info!

give ya a dollar for the hub cabs

That does look like a late 30's front end. The king pins probably need replaced also

I think I am just going to keep it and finish the trailer out since its not worth much. Thanks guys!
