OK, just need to confirm, 1/2 ton/c10? I’ve Got one at junk yard in Santa Ana, but always support forum friends first. Confirm the size/it’s C10 and maybe we can work a deal.....Tony

So, this stuff would allow someone to swap front and rear end on say a 1966 Custom Camper or equivalent truck, and you would get the better brakes and better rear gears (assume so) but you'd have to give up stock rims. Correct?
