Help me identify front end

How can I determine which year model front suspension is on this truck? The truck is a 70 model c10 but has five lug front end. Are there any visual differences between a 72 and 73 front suspension?

A-arm bushings....
pre-73 = threaded/screw in place rubber lined steel sleeve
post-73 = press-in place steel shell w/rubber bushing

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
