SWB trucks had both 56" and 52".
The rearend will be centered with either one.

Maybe just use your 3/4-ton spring pack with a few leafs removed?
Aren't the leaf spring pads on the rearend in a different location between the 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. (farther out on the 3/4 ton?)
I would think you could use your 3/4 ton leaf springs with 1/2-ton hangers and 1/2 ton rearend.
