Yes, the wheels will fit, hub size and all on the 54 and up. 53 and earlier will bolt up, hubs are too small and don't rest on wheels. My 54 has them. Look at www.stovebolt.com and in the Gallery is

Have to make your own plan. There is no "limited budget" plan if you are wanting a rod or restore. It ALL costs big bucks. In My opinion, Just put in a front disc brake swap, keep the straight axle,

Don't make RODS out of one-ton dually's!! Stick to the 1/2 ton size for that. I personally think you should keep it all one-ton and get the parts truck to get the axle from. Should be eight lug, righ

Trucks don't look much bigger, maybe set higher. When you get into 1-ton panels, then you can see diff. Wheels on bigger trucks, brakes, springs, all bigger. If rodding, you can't find 3/4 ton disc s

I think any year 8-lug will work. One main difference is the size of stuf holes. Early trucks may have 1/2" stud holes, most later have 5/8" maybe. That might only be for one-tons though as I just we

No Patrick gears for 3/4 ton. BUT, you can use early 70's maybe other years pumpkin part, whole unit, and it is a bolt in deal. Gives some higher gears, not a lot. Someone on this or other lists have
