Camper on a 1/2 ton LWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, looking to put a camper in the back of my truck. To do it right I would need to put a 3/4 ton rear axle and some HD springs, yea? Anything else? Can I get away with my stock drums? (not planning on towing much more than a ski boat) I have a leaf rear end, so my hope is that I can get away with an axle / spring swap relatively inexpensive. Suggestions on axles appreciated (Corp. 14 bolt / Dana 60 are what I have turned up so far). Are there any differences between the Dana's that came under the backs of Fords vs. Chevys?

Thanks!
