No on the 67-69's 12 bolt's as they are in a narrower housing and depending on which 70 model (came in both narrow & wide housing) 12 bolt you have, if you have the wider 70 type then you can swap in the later 5 lug axle shafts. You can also now buy a brand new direct replacement 5 lug axle shaft for the 67-70 narrow housings. Have you just considered having your original 6 lug axles re-drilled for the 5 on 5" pattern, then all you would need to get would be the new drums? Cb
