Will they swap? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 | The frames are different, so the mounting pads on the axles will be different. The '52 frame is tapered in the front, the '56 frame is straight. The '52 also has the old style Huck brakes which would be a step backward. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 | Thanks a bunch. Bummed now | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 | A 3/4 ton front axle should work for you also, to broaden your search a little. I know they use the same brakes as the one ton (12"), the only difference might be the tie rod and ends, but I am not positive. I'd look for a '55-'59 3/4 or 1 ton front axle. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 | Thats wht I'd like to find.
