We picked up a sids frop axle for our 55’ 3600 chevy truck.
But after not bein able to find wheels for the front axle that are narrower than 9”,

We are curious if swapping out the front hubs for 1/2 ton will work with our 3/4 ton spindle?

Other options?

No, 1/2 and 3/4 ton do not share spindles or hubs, they are not interchangeable.

The original wheels are certainly not 9”, I’d guess 6” or even less.

I agree with Grigg. I ended up buying 8-lug 6" wide rims from eTrailer.com which worked great front and back on my 1955-2 3600.
