>>Also, does anyone know where I can get the vacuum controlled 2
speed
rear end unit rebuilt - just the diaphragm assembly?
And does anyone know a source for oversized kingpins to rebuild the
front end with? My local suppliers don't know the old trucks.

Eric, the vacuum diaphragm is still available new from your local GM
BIG truck parts house. Try GM #3847058, I got one about a year ago
for my '56 8400 wrecker. They should be able to h*lp with the
kingpins.
Most Big trucks were sold as a bare Cab and Chassis. Either the
dealer or original owner fitted them with a "custom" body ie: box,
dump, flat, cement mixer or wrecker body etc., so there really isn't
any right or wrong, as long as it fits correctly!
Good Luck!
