Rear axle swap - what years are interchangable?
1983 C10, 1/2-ton, 2wd, short bed
Ring and pinion broke. As far as I can tell it's the original axle. Trying to decide whether to swap the entire axle or have it rebuilt. Can an axle off a newer truck be used? What years? One with disc brakes? Any extra parts (brake proportioning valve, etc.) needed for the change to disc?

i believe 88-98's are bolt up but i think they use a wider leaf, dont know if thats an issue. i think they also have the same width as the front
