What is the width of that van axle compared to the original (which is about 63")?
It also looks like a semi float rear which I personally wouldn't want for a 3/4 ton or larger.

A full float "14 bolt" rear can be had the right width and with gear options to suit. I'm gearing up* for a 14 bolt swap myself and will document it well in the coming weeks.
