What axle are you talking about? original axle or a later model P-30 axle?

If the original 2 ton truck axle you can swap spindles and everything outside of them from a later model P-30 axle with disc brakes. Info in link above.

If talking about a 5/10 lug P-30 I-beam front axle then you could swap hubs, caliper brackets, and dust shields from an 8 lug version of same axle.

The 8 lug is on 6.5" pattern.
