Default Can anybody ID this spindle/hub/drum?

I am hoping somebody here can help me ID this spindle/hub/drum assembly. I don't see any markings on it other the drum has this cast on it "MAX DIA 26(?) IN"

So any ideas?

Would any drums have had 2 wheel cylinders in the '70s? The only 6 bolt vehicle that I ever remember junking was a '70s Datsun pickup. But, I was almost sure the top part of the spindle was different on it.

Most likely import due to the screws holding drum onto hub.

Datsun truck most likely. Late 60's or 70's.

I assume being in the condition and for this undesirable application that it is just scrap?

The bump stop on the steering arm looks typical Japanese for that era.

This dates to 40's. I know I had 39 and up Pontiacs with 6 lug, and that flat drum.

It has ball joints so I think it's probably not any older than the 1950s, more likely newer than that. What's the drum size? That will help ID it.

Sorry I took so long to reply. Some things came up. Not sure what the "correct" way to measure is. But, the drum appears to be 11" in diameter(measured where it wraps the shoes, but not including the flat lip/edge).
