Remember they made 2 different length output shafts on 4x4 C6's.
78-79 Broncos and some 3/4 tons used a longer one.
They'll still fit but you will have to change drive shaft length.

yep, 5 3/4 and 8 3/4... supposedly you cant get a double cardin joint at the front T-case on the 5 3/4 (why I got the 8 3/4). Also mine is/was a 2wd so need new driveline anyway so works out :D
