The 1500 would have the 5 x 5 wheel bolt pattern and the light duty 2500 wouldhave the 6 x 5.5 wheel bolt pattern. There is more info on this in the "Disc Brake Reference thread"
I must have missed all of this in that thread as I have been over it a couple times, will revisit. So just to recap, if I use the spindles and associated brake parts from the later, 88-98, trucks then I can do this for cheap... cheaper? I'm assuming I need the ball joints from the same year as the donor truck... obviously.
