As an alternative, how difficult is it to swap the whole rear axle out for something more modern with 5 or 6 bolt drum brakes? I would consider doing this to improve highway speed and take advantage of the 5 or 6 bolt front disc brake kits (have a 1/2 ton front axle that I could swap in).
Not interested in putting in an OD transmission right now. Truck comes with the stock 4 speed and I also have a newer SM420 to use if I get remove the torque tube.
Thanks,
Bob
