OK everyone I've got a 98 c3500 and the rear diff is past borrowed time. It has the removable drums while the axles are still bolted in and its a srw and its hard to find a rear diff that will just bolt in. So I bought a old rear out of a 73-87 that's in good shape and my plan is to cut the tubes off of my 98 rear and weld them back on to the older rear diff that is in good shape and basically make the same rear that came in my truck out of the two and use the axle shafts out of the 98. Is there any reason that this won't work? As far as I know the only thing that changed over the years was the widths someone please correct me if I am wrong about this. I'm just trying to keep my ole 6.5 on the road for the least cash I can
