Help, 4 wheel drive brake caliper plate interchangeability.
 
Hey all! I am looking to see if the brake caliper brackets are interchangeable before I tear down the wheel hubs. I came across a dilemna last night as I was trying to remove a broken caliper pin. I ended up needing to replace the caliper mounting bracket. My 84 suburban is a K1500 with a 6-lug, 10-bolt axle. I have a 3/4 ton 8-lug D44 axle waiting to be installed, but in the meantime I will need to get the rig up and running for this weekend, if at all possible. Is there a possibility of an interchange?
Thank you in advance.
Robert.

P.S. Search nets in zero results.
Online parts search nets same results.

Robert,
The 1/2 ton (6 lug) is different than the 3/4 ton (8 lug). Which do you need? Tom

I thought they might be. I was in a panick that day trying to salvage a camping trip for that night. Anyway, thank you for your reply, you just confirmed for me that they were in fact, different.
