Removed some parts from my donor Raider. Step 1, replace the open 4.22 rear diff in my sons d50 with the posi 4.62 ... Done.

Next step is to replace the center chunck before snow flies( I guess that what you'd call it?) Since my removal from the parts rig was done with a torch, chain and tractor bucket (engine already out) I'm not real sure If I can put this in his truck w/o pulling then engine and going in from above. (But it does look like it might be possible.)

Anyone done this swap or have any advice?
