I dont know for sure but K10's have a slight lift compared to a C10. You may want to check the pinion angle when you get it installed.

Re: 6 lug rear in 1/2 ton?
I've done the swap the other way. I had a 4wd truck with a bad rear so I put a 2wd rear into it. In my case, I swapped the axle shafts to retain the 6 lug pattern in the truck, but the axles swapped right in and the entire rear end itself bolted in.

Re: 6 lug rear in 1/2 ton?
They should be the same,I swapped a rear axle from a 79 2wd to a 80 4wd. Spring perches were the same. Also swapped a rear axle from a 87 K15 to a 83 C10. Same thing,perches lined up,can't remember if I changed out the yoke or not....

Shock mount brackets are a little different too.
