Has any of our members actually done the Dana 80 Axle swap? (There is one out of a P30 mobile home not too far from me with 5 lug and 47k miles)
As well as the P3500HD or similar? Disc brake retrofit?
I have tried to search and read (including the Grigg stick post) but have not come across anyone that has done it or PICTURES, all the pictures that were posted are long gone. So I can't find any good visual reference.
I have a home machine shop, welding and fabricating skill, have done engine swaps in the past so I can tackle it after getting some heavy jack stands to be able to work on the truck.
If anyone has successfully updated their front end using the P3500HD spindles, steering and brakes as well as done the Dana 80 upgrade to their their 2 Ton COE (mine is a 1950 Chevy COE) and could share photos and their "recipe" I and I am sure future members would be greatly appreciative.
