Greetings, I am new to the forum as well as being new to truck restoration. I have a 1950 3600 wooden dump-bed truck and I am looking to update the rear end to something easier to find parts for. I plan to swap the front axle with one from a 1/2ton truck and upgrade to 5 lug disk brakes. What would be the best replacement for the rear axle? I would like to get about 3.42 ratio and have 5 lug wheels disk or drum brakes - dose not matter. I would also like something that is fairly easy to bolt right in (shock & spring mounts). I was thinking about a mid 80s 1/2ton chev rear. What will fit?
