This says it works on both Blazer and K20, but I'm not sure I trust it.

Just realized that I didn't quite phrase that right. I don't mean the bearings are identical (not sure, haven't checked). I just meant the spindles and bearing ID dimensions match. I bought new K20 bearings for my K20 hubs and then slid them onto my K10 spindles. OD dimensions visually looked to be the same, but I didn't measure them. 
You were going to replace the bearings anyway, right?

Yeah, Might As Wel . . . . wait a minute.
Wouldn't surprise me. Rockauto also says they're the same (http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1116788&cc=1052176&jsn=631). Timken B2110

I would reuse your current bearings and races, so long as they pass visual inspection.

Nothing wrong with that, but that Timken bearing I looked up was $5.74. At that price, even I would rather buy new, in the hopes that I would never hafta touch it again.
Either way, I would definitely replace the seal if I had the option.
Seal yes, bearing, no.

Is there a downside to replacing the bearings? Or is it just saving the $6 apiece?
I see a few front 10 bolts on clist for $100 or so. I'm thinking it would be worth getting one so I can rebuild it and change everything to 8 lug "on the bench" so to speak. Would make life easier in the long run.
Never see one for sale with 8 lugs?
Like I said earlier, there has only been one listed on Clist for the last 6 months or so, and it's $675. And I'd still need to regear it.
I'm good with this direction. In fact, if i do it off the truck, I can send the spindle out to be machined for crossover, so I'd have that out of the way.
The knuckle get machined, not the spindle.

Do you have a flat top knuckle?
