so both 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks from '67-'72 had the Dana 44 Front Axle.
Both 3/4 and 1/2 share the same ball joints. They also take the same front axle U-Joints

Is it possible to put a 3/4 spindle and brake assembly on a oringinal 1/2 axle??

I just want the bigger brakes and more lug nuts

If I get front Spindles and brakes from a '71-'72 K-20 could I replace my '71 K-10 front Spindles and brakes?

Am I being stupid here??? - easier just to get a 3/4 ton axles?
