The only real difference is suspicious, mounting, and etc. The front actual frame is the same from c30-k30, but rge core support brackets are different (4x4 has the leaf spring hangers built into the mount as the spring hanger) and the leaf springs go back to around a foot in front of the first cab mount. I'd ASSUME, it would bolt up the same? Unless the motor crossmember/cradle gets in the way of the bracketry. On our 2wd's the motor cradle is a lot bigger, in the way. Maybe see if the company has any measurements or a drawing?
