Spindles are square, could be 35 if the backing plate holes are 3/8. It looks like the axle ends of the bone have been twisted to horizontal?

From the shape of the now horizontal yokes, shape of the ball end, and the length it looks like it was either a '32 or more than likely a '33-34 wishbone.

I agree on the modifications to the wishbone but that front axle and spindle looks like ‘40-‘41 Willys to me.

It’s the shape of the spindle flange and the axle, the upper axle here^ is the ‘40, lower is the earlier ‘33 and up axle. Also, Willys in that era had four lug hubs.

It’s a 32 or a 33-34. IIRC, a 32 is 47” and a 33-34 is 45”. Maybe someone else can confirm.
