Do it! Any Dana 44 front from a Chevy/GMC will work up to the mid 80's trucks.
I used one from a 75 in mine. Disc Brake lines and new U-bolts are a must but you will never look back once it's done. I can now do u-turns on a wide street... something not even attempted with the old closed knuckle axle.
