Sure, but that swap gets you into a whole nest of new issues, steering being one of the biggest.

Not saying I don't like the look of the stock wheels, but staying with it severly restricts wheel options.

My biggest problem with the stock wheels is that I live in a pretty big area with lots of trucking and there are still VERY few shops that can deal with the split-ring rims and tubes.

Plus their narrow width causes issues trying to fit more modern tires.

Stockton and Marsh are options but you've lost the BUDD look then too, just not the bolt pattern. Finding a place to weld up a new rim to the BUDD center is about as limited and probably even more questionable than custom rims.

In any event, I was just curious to see the discussion on this idea. I saw the idea watching some show where they did this swap on a Rockwell axle.
