Sure thing. I am surprised there isn't someone here who has tried this swap already.
You also get an upgrade on rear brakes (or at least my setup did) with 11x2 3/4" shoes vs the stock 11x2" shoes on my 72 blazer. So the drums are naturally bigger as well.

I took some shots I'll have to post later. I'll need to retune the trans tables for the gear swap, that will take some driving time.
