The camaro would be a 5 lug and you want to put it in a 3/4 ton (8 lug)? I dont know your truck but the camaro has leaf springs so if your truck has coils you would have to modify it to work in your truck.

I spoke to the seller today and he told me that it is coil also, i don't plan to carry heavy things on the truck, i want it for my daily driver my question its do you think it will fit?.
there both are coil
Abouth 3 months (before i know the differential was damage) i ask to a truck owner how to change from 8 lug to 5 lug wheels and he suggested me to install a 1969 camaro rear end, know that i finally found it my question its.
Do i have to make any special modification?
does the weight of the truck would affect the performance?
I also planed to lowered by cutting on the coils, i really appreciate if any one cant helP with this questions?
Thank you for taking the time to review my thread

If your truck has rear coil springs instead of leaf springs, I would look for a 1971 -1972 chevy C10 rear end. It would be a direct bolt in (assuming that the 1/2 ton and the 3/4 ton rear coil setup is the same) and has the five lug axles. Also, the camaro rearend will have a 5 on 4 3/4" bolt pattern, not the 5 on 5" that these trucks had from 1971 to 1987.
