Looks like its going to take awhile to go thru the GM heritage info. but that should answer a few questions. I'm finding its a bit of a challenge to find 1/2 ton pieces in good usable condition. My original 1 ton frontend, although needing a rebuild, appears to be in better shape than all the 1/2 ton stuff I've seen. I checked on IFS setups but none would retain the stock ride height. I want this truck to look like a stock 1 ton. After reading posts on 8 lug disc conversions it sounds like the bolt spacing for the backing plates/caliper brackets are the same for 1/2 ton and the 1 ton? If this is indeed true machining the spindle diameter to 1/2 ton specs might be an option. Just a thought.
