Those are sheetmetal 2wd beams from a 1982 Ford F100.

Philo, do you know if these are able to be cut/turned? Or just easier to get bent beams?

You can modify those anyway you want. Move the balljoint for alignment, extend them, whatever.
The hubs/rotors are most likely 5x4.5.
I don't think I'd use them for anything but a mild Ranger.

Re: What is this off of?
The only year I have ever seen them on is 82 F100... which I believe was the last year of F100. The F150 of that year had highly desirable 1" kingpin beams.
Ford did some weird lets use parts up shit in the early 80s.
Those beams may have come from me... I sold a set at the Leduc swap meet years ago.

I've seen similar beams on mid 80s Rangers as well. Not very common though.

Re: What is this off of?
'80-82 were some weird times it seems. As Philo said the '82 was the only year with balljoints like that I think. Pretty sure the 80 & '81 had plate beams but were kingpin. All 3 were 5x4.5 lug pattern in the F100's like Philo mentioned.
