I have all new billet for the Interior, billet lock pulls, shifter, pedals, light swithc knob, window cranks, Steering wheel, Single DIN digital factory looking Radio/stereo radio with changer under driver seat, New Dash, Wood Grain (Walnut insert for Dash Cluster Bezel and Passenger side Dash insert and Door panel inserts). Trying to keep a somewhat OG Retro look. Next up is to trim rear Wheel wells/houses for clearence for the 2's. Spike lug covers should be here in a day or so.

Thanks Pig, I don't plan on puttin this truck in the weeds, I'm going to flange the bed floor and re-install some new/used factory wheel wells, the rear flip should bring me down justt where I want to be with the 2's. The truck is a camper special so Im gonna try to keep it that way.

So that is a srw 8 lug rear? About how close are the leaves to the tires and what adjustments are you going to make?

It's SRW but 3/4 ton specific, 1 ton had different brakes and longer studs, overall dimensions are the same as the 1 ton and the CC. The load bearing thick leaf in the leaf pack is out of wack on the driver side and hits the inner wheel. The inner wheel is about 3/8" close to the leaf pack on either side, I have a set of shims that I will probably mount either on the adapter 8 lug side or wheel 10 lug side. No cutting of the fender or any of that BS, this truck will never be layd out so there will be plenty of clearence with factory height wheel wells. In all actuality I dont really need shims at all but I want the clearence for sway and travel. I should have it dialed in by next weekend. Had a minor set back with the whole project as the transcooler cracked and leaked water into trans and trans fluid into the cooler tank and rad. The trans is now shot. Once rolling It will go the shop for a new trans. New radietor shoul dbe in by this weekend.

What size tires are you running? Do 22's have the same offset as 24's? Is a 3/4 ton frame/leaf springs the same width as on a dually? If so then all I have to do to run 4 semi's out back is convert to srw 3/4 ton brakes?

265/45/22 frnt 265/35/22 rear. I was going to put the SRW reaer end in my crew cab before I sold it and never got around to it. The 4's should be the same thickness as the 2's. Can you mount both rears on the adapter's with the hub centric flange sitting flush with the outer wheel after mounted? The wheel offsets should be the same. The perches on the cc trucks I know are different, the shackle/hanger mounts hug the frame closer on the cc trucks, at least the ones I've seen out here. I will post clearer pics soon.

You can run the DRW brakes on SRW axle, just swap backing plates, drums and replace seals.
