I did a 3/4 ton swap on my 86 K10, the calipers bolted up fine, pads were fine. I used AN braided line for my hoses though, so I never had an issue with them being to short. I haven't actually driven it more than around the block yet, but everything seems fine now.

The larger piston will give you a little more stopping power, but I think it's minimal. I didn't think the booster or master cylinder were different?
