Hi all,
I have an opportunity to swap some of my junk iron that is excess to my needs for some other junk iron I want. Specifically, I am swapping an old bus for some updated axles for my '65 t-all.
What should be on my shopping list--d44 front and d60 rear or d60 front and rear?
Would going to 4-wheel discs be overkill?
In regards to brakes, what will I need to update from non-power assisted single circuit drum brakes to power assisted dual circuit disc brakes? Am I correct in thinking that having a hydraulic actuated clutch complicates matters somewhat?
What steering components will I need to hook up the current steering to the updated axles? Would this be a good time to upgrade to power steering? If so, what else do I need?
With going to the more common 8-lug pattern, for what size tires and wheels should I look?
Thanks in advance for your input.
