[Oletrucks] 56 Front Wheel Spindles

Well, there are no numbers on the parts themselves, the Assembly Manual
shows the front axle, spindles, etc. as an assembly, so there are no
individual part numbers listed for the spindles, and the Shop Manual does
not show numbers or state whether the spindles are unique right to left. A
vendor's catalog did not have original spindles available, but did offer
drop spindles, which had the same part number in their catalog. So, I assume
the spindles are the same, since I can see no difference in them and
apparently the drop spindles from this vendor are interchangeable right to
left.

Thanks.

List,

Can anyone confirm that the original, 1956, 1/2 ton front wheel spindles
(I-beam and kingpin suspension) are the same? If not, then which is right
and which is left? They appear identical to me.

Thanks

Doug
