1 ton I beam axle and bolt pattern question

[X53Gunner]

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!!!!!

I dont know of the front axle being the same on 3/4 and 1 ton but I do know that the bolt pattern is 6 by 5 1/2 or the same as the old Chevy and Fords. Hope this helps. I just bought a 48 truck and the gentleman whom I bought the truck from gave a parts book I will ck about the axle and let you know. Ed.

Well I looked at the parts book and it says that the 1/2,3/4, and 1 ton use the same axle. The difference is on the brakes. Hope this helps.

Well I was not confortable with the answer I gave so to make sure u did more research and turns out the bolt pattern is 7 1/4 by 6. Only power wagon and 1 ton and above have them. Sorry for earlier mistake.
