The rear in Mine is 5 bolt axle out of a 72 width is 1 1/2 wider but gears were the same 373. You can count the revolutions (wheel to drive shaft ) and get the gear ratio. I am working on a 72 Blazer converted to 2wd has a 327 and turbo 400.

Re: 66 panel

No easy answer for this, different engine placement, different trans, Get a yoke that slides in back of trans, and measure center to center universal joint.
