rear end conversion

[utilityram]

Hey Guys Im new. I recently picked up a 4x4 2500 5.9 magnum with 80k on it for 900$ at an auction. It needs a rear end. Anyways im looking to replace the rear end as cheap as possible. I have found plenty of drum brake rear ends for super cheap. Mine has discs Would a drum rear bolt right up with minimal modifications or should i just go with a disc rear? I can get a working drum rear locally for 250$ or a disc rear for 900$. I really do not care about having drums vs discs. Also if i have a spicer 60 in my truck can a spicer 70 SRW out of v10 or 3500 be easily installed?

Thanks!
Wil

you can put the drum rear end in, but you will have to change the prop valve to match.

Yes you can replace it with a Dana 70 from a V10/Diesel 2500. 3500 I believe were all DRW.
