Short answer yes. But look out for oil fillers in axle casing and diff casing. Some are one and some are the other.......if you get the wrong mixture you end up with no filler plug  :oops:

They're interchangable unless your rear is a salisbury. They work the same way so no reversing of drive. Oiling is by splash. As said above check fillers. Don't ask me how I know.  :oops:
