Very cool truck! Highly recommend keeping those heavy axles and Daytons. A C60 on 1-ton axles just don't look right...

Thanks!! I was looking for a newer semi rear end with alot lower gears to put in the originals place with 10 lug rims then conversation the front hubs to 10 lug. Seen a video where they did a bus like that. I wanna keep it heavy duty but I wanna lower it and put it on air and make it drivable so I can haul my pro street square and my brothers Vette to long distance shows. I was also considering a nv4500 swap as well. Hope that makes sense.. here a pic of my toy!!
