Your two ton front axle will work fine, a replacement rear axle with that bolt pattern and disc brakes will work on your truck. Dana-80 axles have several suitable ratios. Look for modern heavy pickups and C and C Chevy/GMC trucks. 19.5” wheels and tires are almost the same OD as your original 20” tires. Disc brake front hubs/spindles can be added to your axle. Some fab. skills required.
