[Fot] Ford Truck Axles

[fubog1]

 Sorry I can't help with the axle ID but that welded inner flange shows one of the weaknesses of some of the replacement axle/flange combinations; the flange is retained by a bolt & thick washer & torqued, but there is just a little shoulder where the shaft diameter increases & the inner end butts up, & it's not enough surface area to support the axial load, & they tend to loosen.The one in the photos won't loosen.Also it appears that one of your brake shoes is upside-down, leading vs trailing...

 Here is an update on my axle search.
I removed my axles for some other maintenance and took some pictures.
If someone can tell me what these were made from I would appreciate it.

When I bought my first Spitfire the previous owner told me the axles were made from Ford truck axles (he was told that when he bought the car).  
Has anyone heard of doing that before?   The axles I have are very robust (no nut) and I am trying to see if it is even possible to make another set.
