1970 4x4 K5 late model front diff swap questions
I picked up a complete front diff from a later model truck last weekend 100% complete.My question is:will this unit bolt right in or do I need some additional parts?Obviously I know I will need different brake hose nut other than the obvious what do I need?I would like to have everything here so it is a simple in and out in a day..BTW I already did a search and it seems most people are swapping out the knuckles and hub/brakes from the donor front end,I was thinking it would be possible to install the entire unit

If its Chevy it should bolt right in. Use the original brake lines and add the soft lines from what year truck the axle came out of. I would get new ubolts and check and replace the seals and gear oil. Only difference you may have to relocate the shock tabs to the right location for your truck.
