Went to the boneyard today and found a 50 model chevy 3/4 ton truck and to my surprise the frontend is the same down to the shackles. Everything measures the same. Heheheh, that old truck also still has the steering box and steering column in it. Could be the ticket I'm looking for.

To all who said six lugs for that time period, correct you are. My hub and drums have been changed to a later model.

Thanks for all your help on this.
