Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Yeah, the front track width has always been wider than the rear on SFA trucks. Even more noticeable on the ½ tons. Not too sure I like the wide Dodge D80 axle in the rear of an old GM truck though….too wide for my taste. I guess I am just too used to the goofy look of the wide axle in front

I wouldn’t mind using a late model GM 10.5 or 11.5 axle to gain rear disks along with the nifty park brake set up but I can’t live with the width issue. I am sure different wheels and fender flares would change the look a lot though.

Your truck is coming along great! Not too sure about that width of that rear axle though.
