Kevin,
Very cool note.....creativity is a good thing....
I have a 21 gal fuel tank between the rails under the bed of my '56 1/2 ton.
The tank behind the seat is history, and I enjoy the storage space it freed
up. It required a relocation of the filler neck to the front of the
passenger side rear fender, which is the hardest part of the conversion. Be
happy to describe it for you if that is what you're interested in. I may
even be able to get a picture or two if I can talk my wife into bringing
home the digital camera from work.
Gordon

Grant,
There are several different versions of the NAPCO front axle. The NAPCO
kit included the front axle and T-case plus all the necessary bolt on's to
make it work. You mention a "set" of NAPCO axles. If original, the rear
you're looking at is the stock 59' rear end. Nothing special, or NAPCO
specific about it. That front axle is the special part, and was matched
(ratio-wise) to the stock rear axle of the vehicle.
AD conversions were only available in 3/4 ton or better as the enclosed
driveline of the half tons made the conversion a no-go. The price sounds
fair, depending on the condition of the Rzeppa joints in the front axle.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Found a set of Napco axles from a '59 GMC today. Seller wants 400 for
both. Are these different from the AD Napco axles? Is the price about
right?
Thanks,
