Huck rears are different from the fronts, NOT interchangeable at least for a 1/2 ton.

Plenty of good reading here...

We are doing a winter (in January) junk yard tour and the place we're going to does have some AD trucks, they are 1/2 tons so find out if the drums are the same. Wait, if you're 3/4 ton that's 8 lug, right?
