I have been told by a few people that mid 1970 was the year they widened the rear housing, so your 69 will not work with 71 and up axles. You might be able to get the axles redrilled but I would buy another rear. They can't be hard to find, there are tons of these trucks all over the place. Too bad we weren't a little closer...I would sell you a complete driving 71 for $300 bucks.
