Suspension Questions
 
I have a thread started in the 67-72 section but have a few questions regarding the 88-98 trucks.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=449977

Can I swap 1 ton spindles and brakes onto a 1/2 or 3/4 ton frame?

Or am I better off buying a 3/4 or 1 ton frame to begin with?

Thanks Guys

Not sure about spindle swapping, but you can put HD 3/4ton/ LD 1ton [8700gvw] brake calipers on 1/2ton/LD 3/4ton rotors/spindles.

Good to know but I'm wanting to know if I can take a 5 or 6 lug front suspension and make it a 8 lug rotor?
