Yes, newer axles bolt right in.
In fact, I have a set I could easily drop in. Though the front is a 10 bolt, and is currently running automatic hubs that need swapping for manuals.
This 10 bolt, and the corp 14 FF I have came out of a 67 burb project that got parted.
I would rather keep my original gear.
If my burb was a DD I would be swapping to newer axles and be done with it, but where is the fun in that?
