    8 lug hub with 6 lug caliper

    I think the 70s spindles were different on k10 vs 20s but the 80s they were the same larger ones. Pretty sure the 10 vs d44 use all the same parts from the knuckle out

    Howdy from Poland

    That’s pretty cool inspections varry from state to state here. Montana would be different than Oregon. Some states have no emissions test like FL others like California make it insanely difficult to pass an emission test FL is fun for the beach and Disney but you are making the right choice...
