I think you can but you also have to use the newer transfer case. Of course you have to fab or modify cross members, drivelines etc.

The biggest issue if you truck is pre 92 is there is no place to hook up a speedometer cable on the ZF 6 or the 283 transfer case.
Both the input shaft and output shaft are larger in the ZF 6.

I listed the wrong numbers for the ZF 6 transfer case.
Manual shift is New Process 271.
Dash shift is New Process 273.

Actually it was CRS kicking in.
Getting old is a lot like an old computer hard drive.
All the information is still there, but access times are very slow usually.
Some days I can recall what I need when I need it, some days I "Can't Remember S_ _ _"
When I post stuff anymore, I find myself having to check more and more notes to get it right.
273 - 283, I got two out of three right, it was a better than average day.
