My truck front drums have an extension on them. Is there a spindle out there I can use to get rid of this??

Hy jetmech6868, those extensions are to allow dual style wheels to be mounted reversed on the front axle. I believe a standard single wheel hub/drum can be mounted on that spindle.

It sounds like you have the extensions as mentioned above, for a 1 Ton dually. I don't think there is such a thing as a 3/4 Ton dually from the factory so maybe this is someone's creation.

Yes these sounds like the extensions for a dually. It's hard to know what someone was thinking when talking about stuff done to a 60 year old truck.

The 3600 and 3800 trucks used the same spindle. Is it possible you actually have a 3800 truck? Or, like a pevious post, someone may have put the extension on from a dually truck.

Well vin says its a 3600. But I guess they are extensions. So the fun part is finding correct hubs to put on. Thanks for the help...
