Chevy 3/4 ton D44 or 10 bolt will have the same spindle bolt pattern as the TTB Ford. You have to cut the caliper ears off the Ford knuckles and use the brake backing plates, spindles, stub shafts, hubs, and calipers from the Chevy. Maybe the spindle bolts, too... I don't remember.

F250 TTB is no good. Spindles are based on D60 stuff, not D44, and the knuckle ball joint locations are different.
 
You need Chevy D44 or 10bolt parts from the spindles out. Cut the caliper ears off the Ford knuckles and use the brake backing plate, spindles, hubs, stub shaft, etc from the Chevy. Might need longer spindle studs, I don't remember.

Ford F250 stuff is no use. Spindles are based on D60 parts, ball joint spacing on the knuckles is different, too.

I think I kept the stock master cylinder and booster. The bore on the Chevy caliper piston was bigger, but not tremendously so. Pedal travel might get a little longer.
