You'll need to swap the entire crossmember from the later truck in, as the suspension is a completely different design (coils vs torsion bars). I know there's been a few guys on here that have done it. You'll want to get the rearend from the same donor truck, to keep the bolt pattern the same and to keep the brakes matched.
