If it has a dana 44 front,then it will be a direct swap in.So is the corp 10 bolt but the plates that go on top of the springs the u bolts go through are different.You will need a raised steering arm for the front axle probably.They are different for a open knuckle axle but thats the only raised steering arm available,for a open knuckle axle.I'd order the lift as a 71-72 since that is what it will basically be with the added open knuckle axle and those are the only years with those and still have the right springs.I have to get longer hoses for mine,you might also.
