Can I swap the axles out of 72 1/2 ton diff. into a 69 1/2 diff. I am curious if I can do a simple axle swap. Or am I going to have to get the 69 axle and drums drilled for the 5 lug set up?? I am putting the front discs from the 72 on a 69 frame. wondering because the 72 has leaf springs. 69 doesn't.
