I have a 1951 Chevrolet 3600 that I posted on this forum when I bought it. I have been moving a ton with my new job so the truck went to storage. I finally got it back and have decided the direction I want to go with the project. I have decided to go with a 4x4 conversion much like the old napco. I love those trucks. I know the original napco stuff is hard to find and if you do its $$$. What I would like to do is go with front and rear axles around the same factory width. I know the first fifty people are going to say just do a frame swap with a newer 4x4. I'm just not interested in doing that. I have seen a lot of guys use axles from a k5 or something like that. They only thing about that I don't like is the front is wider than the rear. So a lot of guys wind up with wheels nicely tucked under the rear and the wheels in the front that stick outside the fenders a few inches. I could use different offset wheels but I would like to avoid this if I could. I know I'm getting picky but if I was finding it easy to find the solution I wouldn't be asking for help. I am hoping someone else here has done something similar. I'm not doing serious four wheeling. I'm not putting the truck way in the air. I would just like to have a 4x4 so I can use this in all weather and camping with my son. If anyone has any suggestion for axle selection that would be great. Thanks for your help.
