I recently had my LSD go out and I swapped an open rear end into it for now. My question is, are the internals of the open diff able to swap into a LSD housing? Both are 85's. I want to keep the rear discs but if I cant swap the internals then i'll have to live with it.

I have seen a drum brake rear with LSD, maybe you can Vice versa? As long as you keep it in the same axle size.

i was reading somewhere that the axles from 79-83 were small axles and then 84-85 they went to bigger ones, but i didn't see anywhere that the internals were any different

79-82 is small axles, small flange driveshaft.
83 is small axles, large flange driveshaft.
84-85 is large axles, large flange driveshaft.

BTW, not really sure what you could swap over, but I would guess nothing. They are two totally different animals and I would be very surprised if they share any large components.

you should be able to just swap out the 3rd member since they are both the same axle size...
