If you had all the parts for this, how diffficult is a Wire Wheel conversion from one 74 B to another?
 
Not that difficult, but it will take a weekend if you've never done it before. Replace the bushings while you're in there.
 
Rear seems simple like maybe just swapping the whole diff? From I am not 100% sure. Is it just switching hubs?
 
Sounds like a plan. Pull the axle replace any rubber that does not look so hot and swap it out with the Rostyle Rear. Hubs a couple a bolts. I like it.
 
replace all three seals, and make sure the thrust washers feel ok. It's a lot easier to replace them when the axle is on the ground.

Last time my rear axle was off I took it a step farther. I have it blasted clean and painted everything with POR15. It was well worth the effort and I'm much happier every time I go under the car.
