F53 front axle in a 1931 Ford Model AA

[scl009]

New to forum, didn't know where else to turn and some guys from ford truck enthusiasts pointed me in this direction.

I have a 1931 Ford Model AA truck I'm building into a quad cab dually, but I've run into a snag with the front end.

Long story short I want to put a new front axle into the chassis and the F53 looks like a good candidate. The monobeam solid front axle looks close to the original front axle but has updated brakes and rotors so I think it will be a good candidate. I want to go disc brakes. Can anyone tell me what motorhome brands have the F53 axle with disc brakes?

Thanks for any help

All the F53 since 99 with the V10 no matter which motor home brand, maybe earlier with the 460 engine also.

My 90 HR F53 has that front axle. 460 motor

I truck axle in a older vehicle would be way over kill. It is very heavy, too long (wide?), bolting it up would require extensive modifications, mounting up axles, shocks, springs and ball joints/steering even more major challenges. Maybe a older pick up truck front axle would be easier, OH GOOD LUCK.
