That cut off frame has the diff still in it, the Axles are exposed behind the cross frame out to the wheels as does not drive wheels from center, shaft gear drives wheel gear.

I think I said that above.

What the heck did that red truck have under the hood that needed one that long?

Cummins 855-on a pete frame. A little too long-that's what she said.

Wisconsin auction link to a trailer made from a solid rubber tire truck rear end, interesting differential, if it's even a differential there.

IIRC that drive axle was circa 1907, 1915-Nash or Oneida used a axle like that.

White and Corn Queens with angle set engines
Were a major PITA to work on or to R&R to work on trying to balance off angle. IIRC are situated 15 degrees laid over.

We had an old IH tractor with that slant six Cummins, often wondered if that was borrowed from Chrysler or the other way around? I had a 1964 Plymouth with the slant six for a couple weeks back in late 1960's before brother borrowed it and hit the rear axle of a tractor trailer on his way home from college! Brother survived but Plymouth did not!

Been a long week. Has snowed, hailed, freezing rain and so on since last Sunday. Spent much time in the tow
moving break downs. One to Portland and back bad electrical harness to AMT gear box, which I will change Monday. Another to Spokane and back. But dealing with the office is probably more stressful. One on left below FRTLNR
with 35,000 miles on it is wrecked on the Montana/North Dakota border. Pretty well smashed up laying on it's
side with a load on {now spoiled} covered with a 15' snow drift. DOT said three weeks before it will be gotten to.
Boss whining his butt off-{nothing can be done about it so just let it gooo}.

You can see the slack adjuster if you zoom in. I remember my uncle had one, and the s cam was really short. I think his might have been a gas job as well. This picture is a different truck, but was just trying to jog my memory

That is what was known as a Rotochamber, piston type with a sliding seal not a diaphragm. The one against the blocks had Wedge chambers tucked in there.
They make a replacement for the Roto style called a Maxibrake.
