Pretty much a bolt in. You might need the 71 shock/U bolt brackets. U joint and driveshaft length may or may not be the same. Easy to deal with that. :thinking

Something wrong with the 9.25? If you're just wanting sure grip get one from the u pull it.

Is the wheel bolt pattern same on the axle you want to swap in? Not that it matters if you have wheels/tires for both.
