I'll post some pics later, as everyone knows, on the two wheel drive GMT400's they have a rotor with a packable bearing. The problem in doing the gmt800 and 900 swap is the lower control arms and balljoints. The lower control arm ball joint specifically is not oriented correctly to allow attachment to the later style knuckles. First off, let me give you some of my background, I work in a Chevy dealers' parts department, so I have access to info the ordinary joe doesn't have readily available. I recently purchased a 96 rcsb 2wd truck that was worn out, motor and tranny blown. So I started tearing it apart for a 6.2L swap. I found several things wrong with the truck that warranted removing the body from the frame. Once I had the frame out from the body I got to looking at everything and determined that one way or another I was putting NBS brakes on this thing. I started looking at suspension setups from everything 88 up, corvettes g-vans, 2500 suburbans, everything. Here's what I have come up with:We always love pictures!

14-16 may be aluminum, the 07-13 is cast iron, I'll run some numbers tomorrow and look at some trucks on the lot to double check.now you have my interest.
the later knuckles (14-16) are aluminum I'm told - same fit process?
