69 rear end swap question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

QUESTION!? My truck is a C20. I'm going to convert it to a 1/2 ton. Easy enough to do. Instead of using the rear end out of the 73-87 style truck which is a little wider, could I possibly use a rear end from a 70-81 style Camaro???? I know the F body rear is narrower, and may be what I want so I can mount a wider wheel/tire and clear the opening. If I would have to widen the inner wheel well, so be it. My truck has a leaf spring suspension, as does the 2nd gen. Camaros.
