I have been having some issues with the rear end on my '62. The axle is out of a '72, modified to fit the '62 trailing arms. I was planning on finding another rear end to swap out. Talking to my buddy, he has a '72 rear diff that he's willing to let me have. While b.s.'ing with him, the subject came up about swapping the trailing arms along with the axle. Has anyone done this? Is this even possible? I did some searching, but came up with nothing.

Thanks
