Half ton rear axles up to about '69 will be the right width for your truck and will match your six lug front hub pattern. Cutting/grinding/welding will be required for new spring pads. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Half Ton brakes will not be as powerfull as the 3/4 Ton brakes. In addition the larger drums give you more metal to heat up before they really get hot. | | |
