You mean 1/2 ton? If their the same axle assemblies the shafts will swap.

One thing to keep in mind, if it's a stock "limited slip" from anything newer than about 1975, you are not comparing apples to apples. It may serve your perpose however a Gov lock is not near as strong or as good working as an Eaton unit. Lorne
