And by the way, that is one heck of a career to have.

Thank you. It was not entirely unintentional...

Cummins into a GM? That's very cool...I'm a huge diesel fan, especially for those that run 'em on "waste vegetable oil".

I really have no idea on changing those hubs/axles over. I do know that the calipers themselves are giant in comparison to what would be used on a regular one ton but I can't say if they'll just bolt on. In view of that I'll answer like I often do: anything is possible, it just depends on how much money/effort/fabrication/inventiveness you want to put into it.

Good luck -
