i came across an older set of diffs with 4:56 out of a 1970 chev with a dana 44 front with drum breaks i was wondering if i can change the axals ring pinion carrier ect... in to the 1985 housing so i could use the disk breaks

The ring and pinion and carrier are all the same. A D44 is a D44... not positive on the axle length tho. Only thing is in 1985 chev used the 10 bolt, not a D44. Long as your sure its a 44 and not a 10 bolt your good.

Yip... you shouldn't even have to change spider gears. Pretty sure the only difference is in the carrier. There is a carrier change somewhere around 3.73 (4.56's won't work on a carrier that had 3.08's)... so as long as you use the carrier that the gears you want are bolted to, you should be good to go.
