Mounts are different...

Leaf springs rather than coils....

Different gear ratios...

Could be a 5 bolt x 5inch, 6 bolt or 8 bolt lug axle depending on year and truck...

IIRC, some years were passenger side drop axles.

It will work but you will need a gear matching full with rear to match. And i think your best bet is to make a truss for both front and rears and build your mount on that. Just how I would do it. Oh make sure what side drop that front is the J series trucks had left and right side drops depending on what year and I don't know witch one is witch.
