Are the front beam axles on these trucks “sided” or are they reversible?
Wondering if I need to mark it somehow before I sandblast and paint it or if it doesn’t matter which way it goes back

Re: Front axle question
Axles with sway bar attachment pads maybe so.

Re: Front axle question
Is there any caster built into the pad where they meet the spring or any angle to the king pin holes?
Re: Front axle question
It may be just me, but the axles don't appear 'straight' and have a direction to them like this []-v-[] ... but I would use a chisel to mark the direction if you are concerned.

Re: Front axle question
I have to look again, but I think there is a spindle stop cast in the back side of where the kingpin is......
