Ford 8.8 rear end

[Sam1968 PNW]

So I have the opportunity to grab a Ford 8.8 rear end from a 95 explorer 4x4. Been reading about 8.8s and they seem to fit for what I’m looking for. I have an ho52 in my 68 c20 that I’ll be swapping out for it. Coil springs too. 327/th400 and I’m converting to a c10. I want the explorer rear end because it has discs, and it’s close to the stock width of my ho. Question is....can I swap a 4x4 rear end in for the ho without too much work? I know I already need to order axles to match my front but is it compatible without getting into the diff? Plz be aware, it’s my first post and I’m a newbie. Thx
