Re: rear end swap
I used one out of a 71 c10. It was 1.5" wider than my 64 rearend. I think 63 and 64 are the same. The panhard bar will have to be changed.

Re: rear end swap
A '71 12 bolt will be 1.5" wider than a '63 to early '70 12 bolt. The '63 and '64 use the longer panhard bar with the mount on the passenger side axle tube. You can use the shorter '65-'72 panhard bar, but you will have to put a slight bend in it at the end that mounts to the frame bracket. Or you could also change the frame bracket to one from a '65-'72

Re: rear end swap
When they went to the 5x5 bolt pattern in 1971, the width increased 1.5". Not sure why they decided to increase the width, but I always assumed that it was in preparation for the redesign in '73 and it was a cost-saving measure.
