Okay, fine. Move your spring pads and you're done. Except the axle track width will put your wheels out wide, and maybe rubbing fenders. The 1972 (or earlier) Dana 60 will have the same track width as the original Timken and will look right. It would save you some work, and you could sell the Sterling axle and maybe be money ahead.
Or, you could use the Sterling with dually wheels on the rear to avoid the risk of rubbing like our member GB Sisson did on his 59 F-350 SRW. Stu

i have switched directions from what i was planning. I have found that the bed sides i got with the truck are imo beyond repair and beyond my knowledge. i was doing some research and found a new direction i am going to be dropping a flat wood bed on the truck. This will negate the wider axle issues i would have ran into and it will allow me to make the truck more unique and reduce the rear end weight.

i can get the wood slats for about $15 a board and the aluminum "c" channel for about $7 a piece all in all im looking at around $200.
