Anyone ever looked into putting newer spindles (in my instance, 1988 GMC C6000) on an older axle (again in my case, my 1955.2 6400)?

I recently picked up the 88 GMC and would like to use the whole running gear in my 55. Wondering about the front axle, I believe it is way too wide, and not a good idea to cut and narrow it! (although, done all the time on rear axles).

I have not taken it apart and measured kingpins or anything, and I know about using the P30.
