It will bolt up just like your other one, but if you're running max width wheels/tires, it may ruin that for you. It's 3.08 gear.
It will also have the wrong wheel bolt pattern (6 lug) and because of the length difference the axles will not swap, so they would have to be redrilled for the 5 lug.

Re: Rear Gears!!! Help please!

I just found a GU4 rearend out of a '90 Chevy 1/2 ton, has 3.08 gears. Is this rearend adaptable to my truck?
