These are the 404 axles. And Ive been told not to hope for highway speeds haha. Itd be a pure trail rig anyway. If I grab them I will throw up some pics.

Wait what; disk brakes? Negative ghost rider, I'm not sure there is even a possibility for disks to be fitted on a 404 axle. I sure as hell know they never came with them - I drove a Swiss 404s back in high school. Plus don't forget, it forces you into a 20" wheel.

They would need to be much bigger than a 40. The 404's came with 39x10.5 MPT's stock.

....and just b/c we're on the topic. Here's a picture of my old one.
