Scored one over the weekend from a 1976 Dodge 1 ton motor home chassis. Has 60HD cast on the center section.

I have heard of guys mounting the pinion snubber upside down on the body of the car.

You weld on 8-3/4 ends, after cutting off the truck "full floating ends", with the width you need for your car presumably?

Custom axles then?

Can't get the brake drum loose on one end, the guy I bought it from wants to keep them. Thought about torching the studs holding the backing plate on, and then accessing the brake assembly through the 3"-4" hole the axle tube goes through. The guy beat the adjuster to death with a chisel, and took the brake cylinder loose and pushed it down into the drum.

Any ideas (pic)?

(Don't mean to hijack thread, hopefully others will learn something to doing this conversion).
