Hi Everybody

I am just getting back to my 1953 / 54 1 ton truck I bought this past spring. It came with 4 wheels on it....but the front hub/drum has a huge stand-off bolted to the brake drum. I am thinking with it having a dumping mechanism on the back it was once dual rear wheel truck. My goal is to have just 4 wheels on it when I am done with it.

Any ideas how to lose the off set hub and run just a standard front 8 lug brake drum???...

Are the front spindles longer with the dual wheel trucks? Any insight would be a wonderful thing.
