I suppose if you use the earlier spindle and brake you could use the earlier axle.

Nice rounder Steve....

I have been in Steves truck at ludicrous speed......It handles very well and is scary fast..

The 57 to 60 has the same spring perch width and will need the early 57 to 60 spindles and backing plates. The hub and drums will interchange. It will also only give about 1 inch of drop. as the axle king pins are lower on the 57 to 60 axle.

Not much benifit there.

[quote=airharley;6221029]Hmmm They now carry 65-74 3" dropped beams. I wonder when they started carrying those.[quote]

Looks identical to DJM's beams. Hmmm...
