The OP may want to think of what diff ratio is desired, and the lug count. I'm not sure if an M715 has the same lug pattern as a GM vehicle of a similar vintage. Remember that later 8 lug setupe of course went metric and aren't the same as earlier ones. Diff ratios have to be close, if not the same and a K10 would be 6 lug, but some prefer heavier duty axles on a 4x4. The current front axle has drum brakes, while in 72 GM used disk brakes.
