70 camaro rear in 65 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to know if a 70 camaro 10 bolt will work on a 1965 GMC P1000 with leaf springs.

Do I have to move the spring perches and/or shock mounts? Will I need to change the master cylinder if I go from 11-5/32 x2-3/4" drums to 9.5 x 2 " drums?

Any one ever try this?

The first thing that comes to mind is it will be narrower. Beyond that is the bolt pattern is 5x4.75" rather than the common truck pattern 5x5. What wheels are you planning to run?

Thanks for the reply...I am running 5x5 bolt pattern wheels so the 10 bolt is out of the question.
