Yes, but use caution. Mechanically, you can bolt it right in so long as you either (a) get a rear end from Single Rear Wheel 1 Ton; (b) move the spring mounts on the 90's rear end out of a 1 Ton Dually outboard 1/16" on each side; or (c) modify your rear shackles to dually shackles to compensate for the narrower spring perches on the Dually Axle.

I say to use caution for this reason, the ABS system in the 2001 style trucks. I did a swap using a rear end out of a 1998 K3500 SRW and put it into my 2000 Silverado 1500 4x4 (New Body Style). Everything worked out perfect with two exceptions. (1) I had to modify the cable ends on the parking brake. No big deal. And (2) the new ABS system is pressure controlled in the ABS unit itself, and the drum brake setup on the 1998 body style does not use the same hydraulic pressures when braking as the new body style trucks like ours. I believe that converting the 1998 style rear end over to disk brakes will solve this ABS issue, but I cannot confirm that yet since I still have not done the conversion on my truck.

Even with the ABS issue, I am still able to drive my truck daily, pull trailers, haul loads, etc. Just be prepared for your ABS system to actuate without warning or foreseeable cause. I am interested to hear of potential corrections for the ABS issue on this topic.
