Pictures would help. But you said they are wavy. If it a curve between the two spring mounts if sound like they could be early Mopar axles. Dodge, Chrysler.

If it is a "wavy" tube then it is probably early Mopar. If it is a "wavy" I-beam then it is probably '53-'60 F-100. No way to tell for sure without pics.

By your description, early Mopar is what comes to my mind first too.

does it look like this? if so, its a plymouth/dodge axle. mines off a '33 plymouth. dodge also put a wave in their late 50s truck axles but those are an I beam design...

i used a drum setup off a '59 dodge D100 pickup. had to hog out the kingpin bosses to .875 and the steering arms from the car needed drilled for the truck size hardware but otherwise, its a bolton deal.
the lugs press into the drums themselves which are held on by the spindle nut.
