All the original stuff has only 15,000 miles on it and no rust as it came from the southwest. (see www.centralvermont.com/restorations/42gmc/42gmc.htm ) I am looking for a straight or slightly dropped front axle including brakes, spindals, drums etc that will fit the 8 bolt 16" rims and tires from a 3500 gmc dually. I would prefer something with disc brakes but I can always change them later. I live in central vermont. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Look under a step van, I believe that there are a few of those with 8 lugs, disc brakes, and I-beam axles.
There are lots of step vans with the 5 and 10 lugs on 7.25" circle, and lots of them with that bolt pattern or the 8 lug pattern that are independent fronts.
And I am reasonably sure there is an 8 lug I-beam front, I too am looking for one.
They would have to be narrowed to work, but that is doable.
