Default sierra rear beam HELP

Hi all.
this one may be simple for some people,
sierra rear beam. ( just the horseshoe shape steelwork ) are they the same for all models.
i know early had drum , while later had discs, and lsd and non lsd diffs, 7 and 7.5 inch diffs but what i need to know is the beam the same for all models.
eg.
if i had a non lsd drum setup. would a lsd discs setup just bolt together.
thanks all
mike

Generally they are 7", the exception being the 2WD Cosworth and another model which have 7.5".

So, as long as it matches the diff you have I don't see why not, the arms can be changed to suit disc/drum.
