9" transplant

Will a 9" rear axle complete springs & all out of a 1976 F 100 transplant into a 1985 F 150 that had a 9" ratios are the same, I was just going to change the carrier / axles cause the splines are different the wheel bearings are also different tapered on the 85 roller on the 76. Everything looks cool spring spacing spring length etc. I have the 76 axle in hand and it has a new ring and pinion and a lock rite locker installed. If anyone has done this please tell me what I'm getting into.

if yer spring spacing and all is the same then i see no reason ahy it wont work. only other issue would be if the u-joint is the same and thats simple to fix by replacing the yoke. good luck.
