Thanks Swishy. Enquirin mind satisfied.

Looks like it has the wide 10'000lb axle as used in the late D5N Dodge and also the flares to cover the now wider wheel track.

old scrapman know where you are coming from i work part time at a mini- mix yard and when you are feeding a kerber after you have been on the clutch (ceramic) half a dozen times and it decides to stick on what a nightmare tried to convince boss to get an auto in new hino mixer it was a big NO extra $13,000 cheers whale
