List,
I am trying to gather info on rear axle widths. I have a 1940 3/4 ton with 6
bolt pattern. I would like to keep the six bolt pattern and switch out the
entire rear axle for something that will give me better cruising speeds.
Is it possible to take a later 1/2 ton axle (six bolt) and convert it to run
under the 3/4. I know the springs and everything are all different. So some
welding will be needed. I image that's true of any switch I make.
If it is, I was wondering where I can get some info on axle widths for
various years.
Any help or opinions would be appreciated.
