Smile Re: Axle shaft help

i run the 73 on up shafts in all the trucks i've done but i always use the spindles that match the axles. if my feeble old memory serves me correctly the seal area on the later shafts is different where the outer stub goes through the spindle. the later shafts are beefier than the 72 and down shafts on the inner half but taper back down where they go into the carrier. side note- you better replace that upper ball joint too, i see the little spring from the grease fitting hanging down.
