You sir, I have a question for you, I have an 85 Crew Cab Dually I am in the process of shoe horning a Cummins into. The truck is a fully loaded camper special with the front and rear sway bars, I am going to plate the frame with 3/16" steel from behind the front cab mounts all the way to the back of the frame so I can install a sneaker hidden wheel lift.

I also have a line on a set of 10 lug running gear out of a 95 3500 HD, I checked the part numbers through O'rileys, and they appear to be the same for the wheel bearings, thus my question to you is do you know if it is possible for me to pull the ends and the disc brakes off the 10 lug 3500 HD rear, and put em on my full width 85 DRW rear end?

And by the way, that is one heck of a career to have.
