Thanks truckernix!
That definitely makes a lot of sense comparing the two frames.
And yes, I contacted a local heidts distributor about a kit they offer for the 1/2 tons and knowing that my frame was slightly larger asked if they could cut one to fit, apparently it's no problem but I'll let you know how it is once I've ordered it
I should mention that the kit I'm putting in will put me down to a 5-lug hub. They don't offer anything to keep the 8 lug
