The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun Which direction on one ton 1949 GMC flatbed.

There are lots of posts in the drivetrain section, but in my 48 3/4 ton, I used a 4.11 axle out of a 2004 chevy 2500 HD. The parking brake cables work and look ok also. faster gears, disc brakes... The only draw back is the new axle is ~4-5 inches wider.
