Is there a simple way to shorten those axles or if I use a axle that is already 60" how do I know the leaf spring will line up on the axle. I've been told if they don't alighn where originally specified the weight of the car could crush the housing of the axle. Obviously people have done this conversion, just need some help.

When I broke the kingpin off of the front axle on my 3/4 ton '57, I found that a 1985 corporate 10 bolt (3/4 ton) went right in. Short of having to redo the driveshaft, it was a bolt in deal. IIRC, the original axles were HO72s?
