Will a 1977 Suburban 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive rear axle fit into a 1986 or 1987 C10 1/2 ton step side truck? Are they the same dimensions? Will it bolt right in? Any help would be great!

It bolts right in, but uses a different u-joint. Either need a conversion joint or have the yoke replaced on the drive shaft.
