Default 454ss 14bolt questions

was curious if anyone has used one of these in a '80s c10. I was also curious if they were the same width and line up correctly. And did any of these come with disc brakes?

The perches are wider on the 88 up trucks. The extra axle width makes the rear track width line up better than the original though. HTH Jay
