my short bed also comes with 3.73 posi rear end but it is a 6 lug that I want to convert to a 5 lug, I know there is after marked axles but I was wondering if I could swap them from a newer truck?
Welcome to the board, If I am correct I believe its up to 88' that will fit on these trucks.

If it was me and I wanted to convert to newer with 5 lug then It maybe easier to find the whole cross member and slap it in. and a rear axel to match. but I am not to sure. correct me if I am wrong.
