I am doing the same thing on my '46 1.5 ton. I found a front axle off of a '42 3/4 ton. This will give me an 8 lug wheel pattern and a wide variety of wheel choices. I am going to use a Chevy 14 bolt full floating axle on the rear, same 8 lug bolt pattern. What did you use for your rear axle, I haven't bought one yet.
