I was wondering on the 1941 3/4 ton and 1/2 ton what are the differences on the front king pins, Spindles and bearings? I may look into a disc brake setup but I have an 8 lug 3/4 ton truck and not sure what will interchange with it even with just stock components it appears one wont interchange with the other.
Thanks!

However, 41 was sometimes an odd year. 41 should have been the year that they went to the heavier front axle (king pins, spindles and bearings). I have seen one, however, that was apparently build with the lighter parts, probably left over from earlier years. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 120 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 120 | Thanks guys, I will be getting into the front end work soon and I kind of hope it has the 1/2 ton kingpin setup, That disc brake conversion looks good!
