Playing around with 8 lug Single wheels before the steel Duallys came into play. Drop spindles was the reason why we went with the dually setup.

Perhaps not the right thread to comment in, but, the picture with the brake drum and hub facing vertical looks like the cast iron planters my girlfriend ogles over.

Great project, following.

Cool truck. I know I'm late to the party but I hope there's more. I'm in for low budget builds.

Very cool.
I built a 68 1 ton dually shortbed last year. Widened the short bed 6 inches and it covered the duals perfectly.
What are you planning for a bed?
Great to see your son in the middle of it. That's how most of us all started. "One day your son will thank you for it. His wife, not soo much". Ha. :metal:
