Re: Big Pickup
Wow, very nice.
Those axles tuck nicely too. Who woulda thunk it?

Re: Big Pickup
if your working on vintage iron and want disc brakes and modern rear, isuzu NPR axles are the way to go. They are narrow, heavy duty and retain the old 6 on 8.75 bolt pattern a lot of these older trucks had. Can run 16" up to 22.5" wheels. My 57 lcf is on a 2003 GMC w4500hd chassis (same as isuzu npr) and the axle width was only 2 inches wider than the originals.
