3/4 ton 10 bolt

yep, should be the same as a gm dana44. You will still need quite an offset to clear as well.
 
There is a lot more material that must be ground from the 10 bolt GM 3/4 ton caliper and caliper bracket than from the Dana 44 version.
I have seen it done, but do not recomend it.

hmm i didnt know that, I thought they were the same from knuckle out?
 
I have posted it here before and been called crazy.
I cant say how, as I wasnt smart enough to expect a problem, but when I did my front end, I am clearing 15" wheels with no grinding at all.
Again, this was 5+ years ago, I went to NAPA and ought new calipers bolted it all together and slapped the wheels on didnt know to expect a problem.
YMMV
 
Do you have the wheels now? If you do bolt em on and see. If they wont bolt on see what they are hitting. Grind like hell, bolt back on. If they are just rubbing but you can still turn them, paint the calipers with some kinda cheap bright paint. Then turn the wheels, whereever it scrapes the paint off grind until it doesnt do it. pretty easy.

I did have to grind with 3/4ton d44, amc says more material on 10bolt, idk i thought they were identical. Id say you just gonna have to try and report back. have fun

Some of them are. They all use the same caliper, there are several different backing plates.

I've seen 15's fit fine on one with no grinding, but the same wheel on another require grinding.

Basicly you won't know for sure till you try it.
 
I put 3/4 ton calipers on my rear 14 bolt when I did the upgrade to disk brakes. Had very little rubbing. All I had to grind off was the seam from the mold. Simple easy grind. The dana 60 front ton rotor is a different storie. A lot of grinding there.
I run 4 inch back spacing wheels

If by hard you mean they are literally everywhere then, yeah.
 
like everyone else says, its just a case to case basis. I have a d44 and 15in wheels. everything was fine but when I got new calipers (that were the same part number and year...etc) I had to grind them. someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think its going to vary a good bit.
