Yep, like Wardner says- hydraulic brakes are 39 up. Looks in the picture like the spindle was just welded solid to the axle, so that'd take a bunch off the resale value to collectors(although it wouldn't be impossible to grind off the weld and make it look original). I'd say if you can find wheels and tires to fit, go ahead and make your trailer out of it. Someday in the future the value of the axle regardless of the weld might make it worthwhile for someone to buy it from ya....in the meantime, making your trailer, try to just bolt everything together without any additional cutting/welding on the axle. Thanks to all the others on the info regarding the old Ford wheels sizes....I wasn't sure, just knew that the big pile of early Ford wirespokes I've accumulated were all 16 inchers. Wardner- those big bolt pattern '38 wheels are what the racecar guys run(they call 'em "wide 5's) and often they'll buy some original narrow wheels to mount tires on so they can load their racecars on narrow trailers. Seen that alot....although I have to admit I've hauled a pair of those wheels to several racing swap meets without selling 'em.
