New guy with some rear end swap questions

[1ndatrunk]

What's up guys, I'm new to the forum and was wondering if I could get some advice? I just bought an 88 Suburban 2wd for a decent price. On the way back home, my rear drivers tire caught fire, and the mechanic told be the bearing was bad and the grease caught fire. The repair price quoted was $800 for new axle, bearing, grease, and labor.

A friend of mine has an 83 c10 that he's parting out, and offered me the rear for $80, if I pull it out. Its also a 2wd, 5lug like my suburban. Will it swap straight in, without any headaches? I'm ok with a wrench, but I'm not much of a modifier. They look similar, so I'm hoping this would work. I hear that the brake cable/lines may be an issue. Any truth to this?
Thanks for any help you guys can give me
