Correct. That truck's rear axle is worth a few hundred bucks too, especially if it's a 4x4 with the wider axle.

Unfortunately the rear axle was gone.

Not just one shock mount, both of them. Besides being mounted inboard of the frame, they are staggered in the opposite direction of the 1/2-3/4 ton mounting locations.


Oh, and 15 inch rims usually clear 3/4 ton front brakes. It depends on the manufacturer and the amount of backspacing. And steel rims of course. I don't think 15" 8-lug aluminum rims have ever been produced anyway.

Yup, my memory is a bit cloudy, but that is right. I knew there was something because I do remember I had to have them moved on both the rearends I used. That was 30 years ago though. Man, I'm getting too old for this.

I keep threatening to do something to the truck I have now, but everything else gets in the way. Working at getting my masters degree, working two jobs and working on my acreage keeps me way past busy.
