front axle 4x4 help needed

[doug70]

I an updating my 71 k20 and need to make a swap of the front axle to drivers side drop. Have never atempted this any suggestions? What do I need to look for to keep all the steering in tact?

I have the nv4500 and transfer case from a 95 k3500 and think it might be easier to swap front axles rather than make the 71's np205 fit the nv4500.

Thanks,

Doug
