The Chevy/GMC 3500 HD has a solid front axle - with disc brakes. Has been
that way for about 10 years that I know of. Also has rear disc brakes. These
come with 10 lug rear/five lug front 19.5 inch rims.
I'm looking for one of these to bolt under my '46 1 1/2 ton. Got the disc
brake rear end already.
