Two have tryed it that come to mind and both trucks are running ford 9".

you have to move the spring perches and do a couple other small things but other than those minor mods, yes, you bolt it up.... I believe this swap takes the bastardized U-joint as well.... I'd keep the drum brakes too, unless you just wanted disks...
