Be aware when you replace the rear end in a closed drive truck you also have to replace the transmission and find a driveshaft to fit the new conversion. Another issue is the wheel bolt pattern, your 54 has a 6 lug pattern. Car and small trucks use a 5 lug pattern except S-10 4x4's. In addition the spring pads have to be re-positioned to match your existing configuration. Other things to consider are brake cables and lines. Some fabrication skills are involved and of course $$.
