In reading all of the options for "correct" wheels and tires - I really don't want to spend the money on obscure tires for these obsolete 3-piece wheels. I'd much rather have a modern all-terrain setup. Something like a 8x170 pattern.
So can I change just the (forgive me if my terminology is wrong) 'spindle' on the front? It looks like it is just bolted to the brake drum. If so, I'd just do that, and swap in the rear axle from the busted-transmission '00 F250 in my driveway. Or would it make sense to just go ahead and swap the front too, to something with discs?
Plan for the rig is more of an occasional driver / work truck, not a garage queen.
