Who knows their Gasser axles? Got a mystery axle here....

[STINEY]

only its not on a Gasser, yet. Maybe it will fit under the Healey....

Anyone know what this is from? It looks kinda like a Dodge A100 to me, but I'm not really up on those enough to say.

That's A-100 for sure. The way the spring plates cast into the beam is a dead give away...

[Monk]

Yep......would've been my guess

[DanStokes]

I don't think that trailer was long for this world anyhow so might as well "repurpose" that axle. Photo essay, please!

A100? D100? how much damage was done to it to make it not steer?

It looks like the builder incorporated strut rod technology & rust into the build

It seems that all they did was to "lock" the steering by cutting the drag link in half and welding the ends to the trailer "frame". I don't see great big globs of goobery weld on the king pins like usual on this kind of trailer! Its a little "fuzzy" under there, but doesn't give any signs of hackery.

So I possess authentic gasser stock, neat. Were the D100 & A100 axles the same? I assume D & A were merely model differences, the underpinnings were identical?

Not that they are worth anything, but I thought it was neat that the wheels matched and look like original Dodge stuff too.

Guess this is one trailer that isn't going to hit craigslist as originally planned! Torch time!
