Hi all, I have a quick question. I'm now the new owner of a 48 1.5 ton. I'm planning on putting a 6BT cummins in it and using it as a hauling truck. I have an opportunity to possibly get the axles and rims (with radial 19.5" rubber) from a P30 Frito-Lay truck. I was thinking this would be great, as I would end up with much easier to find tires, disc brakes in front, and still have the 10-bolt style bolt pattern. Will this work ok? I plan to leave the front suspension as a leaf system, but the rear suspension will be a custom self-leveling air ride system (like semi-tractors have)....
I was at first worried about weight capacity as the P30 is only a 1 ton chassis, but then I found that the gross weight of my 1.5 ton is only 12,500 so I should be ok with the P30 axles I would think...
Looking for feedback. Thanks!
-Matt
