Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 103 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 103 | I can buy a 57 gmc truck lcf. I am waiting to hear if it has the tubeless rims.
Does it make sense to buy this truck and swap out the from and rear axles or should I continue to look into modernization? Will the swap be a bolt in situation?
Thanks
Chris

My first guess is it sounds like a lot of work for no appreciable gain.
Find out what the wheels are and bolt pattern, if 22.5" 5/10 lug they'll swap to the 51 with some hub bushings.
