That bearing in the '72 spindle will come out. And if you can find, or make, or have made a bushing the right size it will press in just fine.
I don't know the difference between the closed vs open axle shafts, but would it be possible to mate the closed('69) inner shaft with the open('72) stub shaft? (according to the rockauto catalog they use the same u-joint, but that may be wrong.) Then you could leave the needle bearing in the '72 spindle and have the matching stub shaft with it.

According to the Dana/Spicer axle chart that I found, the axles take a different u-joint. I have a standard duty Dana44. I am going to see if the local 4x4 shop in town can help with the bushings in the spindles.
