4x4 Axel Swap Question ?

Hi everyone ! My first visit to your forum. Looking to swap a set of axels out of a 73 1/2 ton 4x4 into my 71 K-10. Can someone confirm this swap will work without to much difficulty ? Also other then tags on the center section, how do you ID the gear ration in a 73 ? It is a stock 1/2 ton 350/350TH.......thanks for any info.

Re: 4x4 Axel Swap Question ?

The front axle will bolt in and take the sway bar brackets and remount them with a little modification...the rear axle will require moving of the axle perch due to placement of the rear springs !
