The 12-bolt is a VERY good rear end, but it's a half-ton; you have a 3/4-ton truck. Not only will the wheel bolt patterns not match, you'll loose capacity and ride height. Spring mounts may be different--I don't know--and in different places.

What little I can say without seeing pics/knowing more.
