The axles that came in the M37 and M43's and their variants are corporate. There was no variation over the course of 18 years that the various trucks were produced. The only variation I have found was some brake shoes were riveted and some were glued, the glued were generally rebuilds from sources outside the normal government chain, such as NAPA etc, which no longer offer the shoes. I've found all the bearings, races, and seals available through parts houses and bearing suppliers. Some surplus dealers such as AB Linn and others also have parts available.

Vintage Power Wagon, is another spot, that has about everything. On the front axel, its important to make sure that inside axel support bushing is good, and to replace its seal. It has the old riveted brake shoes. I've had it almost 40 years, and the lining is still real good.
