    By the way I thought I had the most stubborn lug nuts in the world on the drivers side, then I figured out they were reverse thread. LOL

    OK I'm a little bit excited as I read on this forum to put ATF down the spark plug holes to unstick a engine, low and behold I put some in there let it sit for 4 days and she literley turned over by hand today. I think I can hear a gear spinning toward the bottom rear of the motor so I think the starter is stuck in the engaged position but what a great feeling. One step at a time and eventually she will be back on the road looking good. I believe tomorrow I'm going to pull the front end and send it off to get lowered 4". Scott

    Info Charlie from Rusty hope has sent me, as it might help others............. My kits are a bolt-on for the ½ and ¾ tons. Some 1 tons use the same spindle as the ¾ ton which makes it easy. Some do not, which makes it less easy. If you measure the od of the spindle where the bearings ride and it is 1.375 inner and .75 outer your spindle is the same as a ¾ ton. You can bolt my kit onto the spindle and you are done. IF it is larger you can either replace them with ¾ tone spindles or machine them down to the dimensions of the ¾ ton spindle.

    I guess now I'm going to look for B1D (or wait D stands for 1 ton so do I need B1B) 1/2 ton spindles to install in my axle and then do the rusty brake conversion. If anybody has these spindles let me know thanks for your time guys!!! Once again this forum Is so good for us that are starting out on these trucks and I thank you all for your wealth of information you guys are willing to share!!! Scott

    So my 1 tone front won't accept the Rusty Hope Disc brake conversion from what your saying. Dave72dt wrote this "From the parts book it appears the I beam is the same for 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton with serail number breaks" so shouldn't that mean it would accept the rusty hope disc brake conversion? I don't mind a ton of wheel showing as I'm going to be dropping the truck anyway. Scott

    Well looks like I'm going to have to find someone who has pulled there 1/2 ton Ibeam front end set up and wants to get rid of it. Scott

    LOL ggdad1951 that is why I figured I better change it out. This may be a real stupid question but can I change the drums on the front then so they will match the 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern? Scott
  12. X53Gunner
    Is there a difference between the half ton and 1 ton axles besides the bolt pattern? Thanks!!!!! Scott
  13. X53Gunner
    Oh now that would be cool!

    I have a one ton that i'm going to be getting rid of the rear dually set up and swapping axles. I want to lower the whole truck and found someone that can drop the ibeam for me and I was wondering if the front Ibeam is the same on all of these trucks 1/2 ton 1 ton. Also is the bolt pattern the same as the jeep axles people are swapping into the rears or can I swap out the front hubs to match the jeep bolt pattern? Hope this made sense. Thanks guys!!!!! Scott

    I was told it was cut off because of something to do with the wrecker unit that was on it. I think it looks pretty cool myself. I'm going to be fabricationg a box and bed for the back of her should look pretty cool.

    Quick question, do I use the serial number on the door jam tag to apply for a tittle?

    I can tell you first hand Hagerty is a great insurance company. I had insurance with them for less than a week and my right rear wheel came of my 64 GTO and damaged the rear quarter. They had a independent appraiser there in two days and a check to me within the week after the damaged happened. They ask you when you insure your vehicle how many miles a year you will be driving your vehicle and adjust the rate from there. Scott
