If he did that to a 3/4 ton then you can do it too.. The 71-72 1/2 tons are the only ones that are 5 lug with coil springs. In 73 they switched to leaf springs.. Also if you switch to a 1/2 ton rear you can put higher gearing in for better freeway speeds.. I forgot to mention that you can probably pick up a whole rearend for less money then to just buy the axles... I got mine at pick and pull for $110...
