The brake drums on the 1 1/2 ton from a glence seem to be the same as the one ton except the lug count. The lug count or how wide it is dosen't matter to me as I have a fQrd rearend in my doodlebug just wourding if it woul work on my one ton spindels. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 364 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 364 | don't think so, between the 1 and 1 1/2 ton is the difference between light and med. duty trucks.

Also what 1-1/2 is it? According to the restoration material the difference between a 3800 (1-ton) and a 4100 (1-1/2 ton short wheelbase) is not as great as with a 4400.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | don't know if it helps, but I have a 1 ton and a 2 ton, the axles are very different in size of the I-beam. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 469 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 469 | I'm not sure this is a 1 1/2 ton but it does have 10 bolt wheels. The front end measures out the same as my one ton for spring mounts and overall width. The brake drums are bigger than the 1 ton I may just change out the whole front end. Thanks for the help.
