Re: Another rearend question if I may
I have a 1966 GMC parts truck, which I was told has a rearend that someone had taken out of a 1979 Chevy or GMC 4WD truck. It is of course still 6 lug being from a 4WD, but I believe the spring perch widths are the same between 2WD and 4WD in 1973-1987 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. Just measure your spring width from center of one spring to the center of the other, and go check out some junkyard trucks. Also with the 73-87 trucks you have a better chance of getting something with some more highway-friendly gears.
