So I scored this 46 Studebaker bed made into a utility trailer for $75. Today I cut the bed away from the trailer for my p/u project. Question is ~ what is this axle and wheels they used out of. It's about 50" wide at the hub.

The axle looks like a mid '20's Dodge Brothers. Not sure about the wheels.

It's hard to know for sure, but it seems that Hudson used 16" diameter 4 lug artillery wheels in the '30's. Here's a link http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/my-new-weird-front-axle-with-artillery-wheels.263360/ with what looks like the same wheel. The axle isn't the same but the poster claims it's an optional front end, so maybe that axle is a Hudson as well. The spindle ends look similar.
