I found the brakes and spindles and hubs that I want to use from an Anthony sweeper truck. At first I was thinking of an axle swap however as Gigg stated above our trucks have a very narrow track width. So now I will be using to the outer parts and will need to rebore the original beam to fit the bigger kingpins. This will yield a front axle that is 2 1/2" wider than the original due to the hub. This 1 1/4" per side I can work with for the benefit of bigger bearings that can be easily had and 15" disc brakes that are rated for 8000 pounds not just 5000.
