Thanks for your interest.

I don't see mounting axles as a problem, but maintaining the stock width is. The truck is made of pressed steel and its thickness is .035". Outside of the frame at the rear measures 3.250". Outside of the front is 3.625". The rear is narrower to accommodate dual wheels.

Both of those widths would be my starting point, but I don't know what else would affect the actual final width of either. I've seen straight axles for the front, but get dimensions of spindles to determine final width.

Any help with this would be appreciated.
