If they are both dana 44s the carriers,ring and pinion are a direct swap...Just keep the ring and pinion together.I believe the whole carrier has to be swapped though,as they are different from 3:07s to 3:73s..Sometimes you can get a used one on the parts board,post a WTB and see what you get.Also check ebay,they should have them.I have the raised one on my 71 but it had a higher lift previously and when lowering it down to a 4" lift,I kept it.It looks like I could get by with a stock steering set up though...
