I believe you could have an original,real late`70.Like,one of the last.Because those rear brakes are`71-only.I went through the rear brake lowdown on a`71 I had and got 2 of the last 9 drums in around`85,at least on the east coast.Only a place called Parts Jobbers could even find them.Those brakes are 2" but,I want to say,an inch bigger diameter.It`s all just too close and coincidental that you have this combination of part.Oh yeah,you said it`s a 2wd #.I`d say it`s a`70 body on a`71 frame.
BTW,the only way to be safe from salt is don`t drive in it.Salt will eat through anything you use to get to it`s favorite delicacy,metal.
