Please excuse it's a little borderline but I felt there were more experts here on than on the HAMB. After close to 50k miles on my little mis-mactched pickup I've decided to put it back on the AA frame (short WB w/ TT stakebed). To fit my needs and wants I'm going a little more modified on the chassis, some is common here... Hydraulic brakes, car front and drop axle, T-5 open driveshaft, 15" & 18" wires, steering box, parallel leaf. Goal is to drive at 60-65 cross state and often pick up another 500 lbs or so in the bed.
I'm going to loose a lot of weight off a stock AA chassis but will still weigh more than a pass car. Not wanting a street rod or 8" or 9" axle I'd prefer to keep my narrow "A" passenger car banjo or possibly a 32-34. Getting a little worried about the bearing load and life over long term use for the miles I like to drive. Not sure how sleeves and repop bearings will hold up with the loads. Overly cautious? Recommendations and thoughts? Thanks.
