Re: Diff fit Question
kenn, I'm gonna say no. The roadmaster has a 8.5 inch ring gear with 10 bolts attaching it to the carrier. The rear end in your truck is most likely a 12 bolt. Jim

Re: Diff fit Question
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Your C-10 has a 12 bolt cover truck-specific rear axle while the Roadmaster uses the GM corporate 10 bolt. The 10 bolt was also found in the back of trucks starting around 1980 in 2 wheel drive. They are 28 spline axle shafts until '88 when the new body style trucks received a 30 spline upgrade. The Roadmaster should be a 30 spline as well so would work in one of those.

Re: Diff fit Question
If the complete rear end is the same width backing plate to backing plate,you could weld on new mounts and possibly use it if you can find a U-joint set to match up,but the 12 bolt is a stronger rear.
