I’ve heard rumor that the three-quarter ton front spindle might fit it. I’m trying to lighten it up a little, Plus I’d like it to match the lug pattern of the later model eight lug rear axle, I hope to put in it. this is a link to a picture. Thanks! :-) [img] https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...ykqDw0w_Iy_xFyYceATPtSQA&oe=62040DE3[/img]

Your picture shows a late 40s early 50s 1 1/2 ton chassis. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 | Bobb, the title says it's a 1949...

I hope all is well back there! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 324 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 324 | I don't know about the spindle swap, but you may be able to use the front axle of a 1-ton of that era, 8 bolt, and there are disk conversions available for the 1-ton 8 lug. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 9 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 9 | that does sound like a promising optional route. I was just hoping if somebody knew if I could change just the spindles or even better just the hubs and backing plates. :-) | | | | | Joined: Jun 2018 Posts: 16 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2018 Posts: 16 | I would be interested in front/rear drum/hub and brakes.
Thanks Brad
