Re: 8 lug rear end
On the 3/4 ton, some were semi float and some were full float. The big block trucks and the crew cabs got full floats
All of the 1 ton trucks had the full float. |

Re: 8 lug rear end
3/4 tons and one tons have different brake setup the one ton has wider shoes so the backing plates have a dish shape and the 3/4 ton are more flat

Re: 8 lug rear end
my 84 diesel 3/4 had a semi-float. it was a 4 speed. no such thing as a 5 speed in a square unless it was bigger than a ton.
