Yes. It will need a short 4x4 output shaft swapped in. You'll also need a C4 to D20 adapter housing and bearing retainer. Driveshaft length stays the same.

The early Bronco is the only vehicle that used a 4x4 C4. Later Bronco II's used a 4x4 C5 (basically the same thing) but they had a different output shaft and adapter. Those parts won't work in an early Bronco.
