I bought a 3/4 ton eaton rear end out of a 72 chevy that I am going to swap third members with a 50 1 ton to get 4.10 gears. The 72 axle has wider brakes than the 50 does. Is it possible to swap rear hubs on these axles? I would also have to swap backing plates and the entire brake assembly.
The outer bearing # is B11630 and the inner bearing # is O11784 on the 72 axle.
I have not torn into the 50 axle yet but I have an interchange manual that says the outer bearing # should be B11630 and the inner # should be D11786.
The outer bearing # matches.
Or, should I just weld spring mounts on the 72 axle and use the entire axle?
Thanks
