Last question first, yes locking hubs bolt on. I got Milemarkers from summit.
You will need a set of shims to get the pinion pointed at the t case. And then you need to cut the welds holding the knuckles on and rotate them for correct caster.
Search for " cut and turn" Binderplanet.com has some good write-ups.

Iits harder to get all the weld out that hold the tubes to the center section. And you still need to shim the center for pinion angle. Most will grind out the welds that hold the knuckles to the tubes. Then the knuckles can be beat into position with a hammer and rewelded. I hope you're not thinking of actually cutting the tubes. Major problems with strength and alignment will result.
Yep that's a 75-90 kingpin axle with external lockouts. The 91-93 trucks had different lockouts.

Another option for your pinion angle... have a driveshaft built with 1350 CVs on both ends. I had this done for my 79 Macho with full time four wheel drive. I only have a few thousand miles on it, but seems to be holding up fine. Just a way of not having to worry about cutting,welding,caster angles, etc. I never considered that. Does it require a pinion yoke change?

I liked mine, easy to use in mud a snow, especially with gloves. Keep the mounting bolts tight or better yet go with studs and nuts.

Those look like selectro hubs. How do you like them? Like ruderunner said "easy to use" when your hands are all sloppy muddy and cold. Always work for me, even the original 1/2 ton set off this truck I put on wifes Ramcharger and still going strong. I keep a set of those full time gears in tool box just in case I am out and I DID break one.

Yeah the only problem I ever had with the old selectros was I blew one apart when the bolts came loose.
