Disc brake front hub/spindles from ‘91 to ‘01 +/- GMC P-3500 HD trucks will fit your 2 ton front axle without tires sticking out of the fenders with 5/10 on 7.25” wheel bolt pattern. Need to make or get new king pin bushings. Rear disc brake D-80 with that bolt pattern will fit, too. 22.5” rims with that bolt pattern off late ‘50’s trucks are rare, but do exist, so lookout for them on farm trucks, school buses. Otherwise 19.5” tires have similar OD to original tires.
Hang out here for a while, most of your questions will be answered.

Ed, I really appreciate this. I can machine new bushings, I would expect bronze bushings machined to fit?
Did the rear end out of the 91-01 3500 work? I am assuming P-3500 are all trucks EXCEPT the pickup trucks/Vanduras? If so, then ideally a donor truck of that vintage would make the best basis for a repower/suspension upgrade?
How about Single rear wheel vehicles of the 91-01 Vintage? Likely not?
I would really like to keep the original chassis, save all that work, just upgrade the steering, suspension, drivetrain.....I'd be fine keeping the old transmission because it has a PTO for the dump bed.
