I have a 48 GMC 1/2 ton short bed pickup.

I replaced my front Huck's brakes with Bendix brakes off of a 1952 Chevy pickup.

Spindles are the same, just make sure you get all the parts from the spindle out Especially the spacers behind the backing plate.

I have not changes the rears on mine yet.

Made one heck of a difference in stopping power.

I would advise replacing the GM style ball bearings with the newer tapered roller bearings. Kits are available from several online sources.

Good Luck
