Mysteries of Chevs
Didnt mind you Hijacking the thread David as it lead onto some interesting discussion.
Which I'd like to continue.
Interesting point you raised about the heavier front axle. Because thats what this truck had (until we replaced it ). The original axle as you said was heavier in every way. The actual size of the "I" beam is bigger, kingpins and it also has barrel bearings. The lighter axle now in the truck has a narrower track and the round bearings. We replaced the axle bacause I couldnt get the 20" rims to fit over the brake drums, which are also different in that the adjustments for the shoes are on the outside (similar to the Blitz stuff if not exactly the same).
By the way enjoying the new thread youve started as well.
