1932 Truck front axle & wishbone

I have a axle, front wishbone and wheels that came from a 32 delivery truck that looks to be a 1.5 ton. How different is the axle from a car axle and how different is the wishbone?
 
Best way to get a car unit for side by side comparison. I can say that I restored a '39 1 ton and it was the same frontend wishbone and steering gear as car & pickup. Only frontend diffewrence was the hub & brake drum were huge with big studs for 17" wheels. Same back plates spindles and everything inward as on car, had 13 leaf spring as pickup. Rear was all different including bigger wheel cylinders and parallel springs. I Imagine a 1 1/2 ton would have parallel springs.

The axle, wishbone and all was a lot different the car/ 1/2 ton stuff in my 32 1 1/2 ton. Didn't see anything that would interchange.
