Judging by the steel bushed arms and disc spindles, if its all original, I'd say yes, it's 71-72

My rear axle from backing plate-backing plate is 56"

Do I have the wide rearend? truck is a 69 or 70 Im not sure how to tell.....

Going to look for axles if its the wider of the 2.

Will any 71-87 5 lug axle slide in if its indeed the wide rear?

I think that's the wider version. Check wheel mounting surface--it should be 63.5". If so, later 5-lugs will swap right in...

So take the wheels off and check drum-to-drum?

I'll do it in the AM would be nice if it was the wide version...

71-87 axle? or just 7172

Who makes the best/cheapest drop spindle 2.5"

I liked ECE but for the extra $25.....

Also I can find a few other things for front suspension via summit bushings shocks and maybe replacement Bj's and suspension parts (if they carry moog or similar)
