What kind of hubs are on the 70HD you are comparing? With what hubs on the 80?

Both could have 8 lugs, both could have the GM 10 lug, both could have 6 lug Budd, and the 80 could have a ford 10 lug pattern. (did I miss any?)

I wouldn't expect 8 lug hubs to swap with 10.

I'm curious if the GM 10 lug hubs interchange between the 70HD and the 80?
