Yes you can but it will need new bearing ends a torque arm mount f-body brackets welded on,and it will need to be narrowed since it coming out of a ford truck. I think the ford truck rears were about 2" wider then a f-body. The only way for me to know fr sure if it's a 9" is there will be no dimpels in the rear where the ring gear sticks out and the two lower 3rd member bolts right below the pinion you can't remove with a socket only a wrench
