THEY LOOK LIKE 2 1/2 TON AXLES
NOT SURE THOU <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

looks to me like tha axles from a JLG lift or scissor lift used in construction. the hubs are much too big to be a 2.5 ton. Also the axles look like they were solid mounted such as one of the above lifts would have. I dont think they would handle too much HP or speed.

looks like they have hydrolic steering

They look to me like axles out of a "mule" that is used at airports to tow aircraft around. Or some other type of equipment - I don't think they are any kind of rugulalry street driven truck.

The hubs look like Eatons

Brakes and Pumpkins are smallish, and Eaton hubs are on the big side.
My guess is about 1.5 ton, even though the hubs look so big.

That is what they were from, can't remember the specs, only the airport "mule" thing.

A local guy just bought that truck off of ebay. It is for sale..... or parts anyways. The axles are called a ZF axle. I'm not sure what that stands for though, and I don't know much on the specs.

ZF stands for some german words that mean gears on a shaft or something like that. they make the 5 speeds that they put in F250's and 350's and the transaxles they used in Panteras and GT40's I didn't know they made axles.
