Can a 98 1500 rear axle work on a 63 3/4 ton?

[Steve_aka_Violent_J]

I have found a rear axle from a (98) Chevy 1500, 3.41 Ratio (I think). I was wondering if it would work on my 1963 3/4 ton pick up. The truck will be a cruiser. occasionally hauling garbage to the dump. At work we have all the tools to cut, grind, weld and modify. I can go buy parts we cant fabricate.

Truck: 1963 Chevy Long Bed

engine: 327 (nothing special)

Tranny: 350 turbo I believe.

Front suspension: Early Classics Drop Spindles disc conversion. Haven't yet decided on what year to go with on this set up. but was told from 71 to 81 will work.

Rear suspension: Springs

Price for complete axle: $200

My build:

Also looking at a 76 rear. price $250
All input is welcome. Im open to all advice and suggestions.

Thank you,
Steve J.
