Default 1996 K1500 Rear end swap question

Hello all,

Would like to know if the complete rear end assembly from a 1999 K1500 would bolt up and work under a 1996 K1500? I realize 99 was the first year of the next generation trucks but cant seem to find info on whether the rear end assembly was changed in any way that would make it not compatible to use under previous generation. Thanks for any info.

Depends on what rear each truck has (10 or 14 bolt), gear ratio(must match your front) , and if you have welding skills to move the spring perches and shock mounts.
