Re: Progress on 46

Those are 1 ton 16" wheels from a late 70's C30 dually. I have no problem on tie rod ends. Center link (from 46) threads may need cut further on the RH thread end to achieve a toe of 1/4".

I would use a 1955-59 3/4 ton front axle if you can find one and forget the adapters. Spacers can be used if necessary. Axle still needs shortened same as 6 lug. I missed a chance at one close. Dang

The truck is at my uncles house but the measurement you want is 5 inches less than a stock 55-59 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton. Believe it or not I do mark all my none year parts with a paint pen for future repairs.
