Re: 73 frt.&rear diff. into 68 frame?
You`ll have to do as your friend described.The later trucks had the staggered(fore & aft) rear shocks.You could leave the shock mounts alone on the axle and install crossmembers with mounts for the shock uppers if you want.If both sets are the same ratio and the rear is ok,you could just swap the front for now.Don`t get rid of the donor truck until you`re done the t-case swap.You may need a crossmember or misc.parts.Probably have to swap trans/t-case unit.
