Hi all,

I've seen quite a few posts about using the 8-bolt wheels from a for# truck 
as they would fit the ole-trucks. I've got a 55/2nd 3/4 ton with the original 
17" split rims.  I've been thinking of switching wheels when I ran across an 
ad for a late model 8-bolt for# rear axle.  I thought this might be a swap 
for my low gears and keep the same bolt pattern.  Anybody know if this could 
be a possibility?

Just thought I'd mention my truck is my daily driver. The gas smell in the 
cab was pretty bad. No leaks in the fill hoses, but I changed them anyway. No 
more smell, I guess the 40 years of use made them pretty saturated.  Easy, 
cheap upgrade.
