Ken,
The knuckles can be used if the lower ball joint hole is reamed out to
accept the larger sized GMC ball joint. Check to see if the bearings
were spinning inside the knuckle (on the hub). If so, the bearing bore
in the hub will have to built up with a flame spray process &
remachined. The hubs won't work. GMC's have 8 lug studs vice 5.
Someone must want the trans & final drive as the trans can be rebuilt
and the final drive is an excellent core to send off to have "geared up"
leaving the coach usable during the process.
HTH,
Steve F.
 
Oops!
BTW, the control arms are the same. The lower one can be reenforced
around the ball joint area quite easily.
Save the camber/caster upper mounting bolts also.
