I'm currently working on rebuilding a 1976 K10 and have ran into a couple of issues that I figured someone here has dealt with before. I have a Dana 60 and 14 bolt FF that I want to put under the 76. The problem is that its off a cab and chassis 1987 k30 and is a dually. I want to run it as a SRW but have searched over the web and haven't found a solid solution on how to convert it to SRW.

Thanks in advance!!

I think you just need to buy the hubs meant for srw. I've read/seen posts about it being done but I can't remember what's all involved. Hopefully someone else can give more details on it.

That's what I've read in some tech articles but in others I'm reading that the actually DRW housing is actually narrower than the SRW. I'm hoping it is just the hubs.

not narrower, the hubs are different, and the place where the backing plates bolt on is further in on the dually rear. but ruffstuff specialties sells brackets to convert that rear to single rear wheel disk brake.
