1978 C50k rear end change

I am currently building a 1978 C50 pickup truck. The truck has the 10 lug pattern, my question is i want to put a 2 spd rear in it, can i take a rear end with the dayton spoke pattern and put the 10 lug pattern on it?

Hy Deerelindel, you will have to swap the hubs and brake drums if the bearings are the same. If both differentials are the same make you may be able to just swap center sections in the housing, hope this helps.
