W56 Interchangeability

So I have a 1985 pickup 4x4 with a W56A that is starting to die. Can I install a W56 from a 1989? Is there any major differences that will prevent me from doing this?

You would be going from w56a to w 56c IF they are both original to their years.

You can but you'll be switching from top shift to front shift. The console trim might not fit?

Read this, talking about keeping the t-case with its tranny:
