I have a similar problem, on the other end of that scale. My truck is a w350 but has the front axle that was under the w250.


In answer to your question though, no, I have not seen an 8 lug half ton. Chevy used to (still?) build what they called the "Heavy half ton" which had beefier leafs and brakes. I don't think the lug count changed though.
