Axle Swap on a 91 Pickup

I just went and picked up a free Dana 30 that came off of an older bronco and I am wondering if the Dana 30 will fit in the front of my 91 toy pickup that is all IFS in the front at the moment. Any Ideas? PM if anyone has any ideas if it will work. Thanks

Being a ford, the diff will probably be on the drivers side, if you had a taco then this would be good, but in your case its not, Toyota's from '79-'95 were passenger side diff, and also it may be a little wider than your truck

As others have mentioned, the diff is probably going to be on the wrong side, but I will add to that... it's hardly worth doing all the work to do an axle swap for a D30 I would go with something a bit beefier. Guys who have D30's do swaps to get away from them

Yep, there's a reason D30s are free.
