Hey Keith :
Welcome to the List. I have a 55 2nd 1/2 ton also and I'm in the
process of installing the same front clip. Mine is made by RB's
obsolete. Is that the one you were referring to? I was planing on
ordering one from Chassis Tech but they were having some production
problems. I don't the know answer to your question but I saw a post on
this list that said late 80's caddy had disk brakes and would work on
55-57 tf trucks. I have not had a chance to look for one yet ,but if the
rear end measures 60 , 61 inches it will fit. If you find one first let
me know.
