You'll still have the small center register, so no wheels will pilot, and you'll have oddball drums. If you're bucks-down, just take a chop saw to C-body or pickup axle shafts.

Can any C-Body axles be cut to fit the A-Body 8 3/4? How much needs to be cut? What year trucks? I have re-drilled A-body axles right now, but would like the big register. I would still have to use the A-body drums and re-drill them, right?



No, you'd use brakes (complete) from any "big bolt" 8-3/4" (or even 8.25 / 9.25" with the same bolt pattern).

I used to have the data showing which donors had enough spline length to cut, but I cannot find it. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Also inexpensive new axles are made specifically for this swap (Yukon, etc.)
