Bantam T3-C axle question

[OverlandKyle]

Does anyone know what the measurements are for the Bantam t3-C axles, in particular the distance between the hub faces and also the spring centers?.... I think they were the same across all the military 1/4 axles such as M100, T3, Willys.... Normally I would get under my trailer and measure them but I'm not anywhere near mine and I need to order a new axle as my father had tried to move it and the hub seized. Instead of trying to repair that 70 year old axle, I might as well slap a new one in there and get the bolt pattern to fit my toyota all at the same time

No brakes

Thanks in advance

I don't have the dimensions you're looking for, but I did the same. I ordered a new axle with electric brakes. Here is the dimension I went with:

52" hub face to hub face and 36 1/8" center to center on the leaf spring perch.

Thanks!!! I'll probably go the same width, without brakes however.... But just wondering if that 1/8 of an inch extra on the 36 inch width of the spring center makes any difference as mine came out to 36 on brand new walacks springs

1/8" is nothing.. I had more play side to side than an 1/8". The springs when attached to the shackles create that play.

Ugh! Contacted another place today and they said that you can only get a 6x5.5 pattern on a 6k and up axle... It states clearly in the dexter book that you can get that pattern on an 3500 axle... Why is this so complicated to some people????

My M100 is 49" hub face and 36" spring perch

You can for sure, get a dexter with 6x5.5 as that is what I am ordering to match my tacoma

New to the Trailer build world. I'm switching axles on my M100 also, and am going to run 255 75 R17s. Any thoughts on the hub to hub so my tires don't rub on tub? I was thinking A 52" H2H would work?
