A little snooping through some older threads in Stovebolt came across this conversation much like yours. The last reply by Bolter Pre '68 Dave suggest using a later 1947-50 1/2ton axle mated with the Task force differential to get what you seek.

I saw the 33-63 carrier and cover gaskets are all the same, so it seems the third member will at least bolt in. Question now would be would my axles work?(diameter, spline count, location etc)

Two other issues come to mind (just thinking out loud here)...Could I upgrade the rear brakes to Bendix style on this housing? On the front axles, I think it would just be a matter of drilling the 7/16 holes to 1/2", but I don't know if the rear would also be the same.

Also, availability of new bearings.
