putting carrier in housing

[Fast68Chevy]

what do you guys think: suppose I had a 71 12 bolt 3.07 complete and nice, and i had a 78 12 bolt housing that had a 3.07 in it but i removed it, and suppose i wanted to use the 78 axle under the 71 since it wil physically bolt under the truck, do you think i owul have any problems with setting the 71 carrier and shims and all into the 78 housing if I retoruqed everything same as it was before and used a new pinion crush sleeve ?

who thinks what ?
i may have ot do this if the 78 housing is not same width as the 71, it has the wider rear brakes I want to put on the 71, but wont work if the housings are not same with, i tihnk they are different, but am afraid to double check now.,
