Yes. I have a '71 GMC Jimmy 4x4 and the rear end blew out 5 years ago. I pulled the rear off my '67 K/10 Suburban. Both were 3.73. The GMC had larger rear drums with fins. The '67 had unfinned drums -- same as all around on my '68 C/10 Stepside. I changed out the brake shoes to fit the wider drums, used a spare pair of drums for the GMC I had, and it worked good.
