if you want to get more confused (or unconfused) look into the details of bore size on various years.
a dodge 2500 cyl is bigger than the 1500
and the mid-90's chev 3500 is the biggest of all.
i think rockauto has the size specs.
check your fits carefully. squirrels screwed up his brake drum doing that on an 01. he realized too late that it didn't fit right. i THINK 94-99 is ok, but 00-01 might not be.

according to my 10 seconds of research, the 01 stock diameter is 1 inch on 1500/2500/3500. you can get a larger bore from the 3500 chevy single wheel, and even larger from the 3500 chevy dual wheel.
i didn't say it wouldn't work. i said to measure carefully, check your fits, and make sure it fits right. something bad happened to squirrels 01 when he tried this. i don't know what or why, but i'll ask him.
one little thing to know, is that on the 00 and 01, the angle of the brake line fitting changed from 90* straight in, to a 45* forward angle. that creates a separate left and right part number. so you might need to rebend your line a smidgen.
story of success.
