Re: Starting 72 rear axle install..
Hey gulf....when I took my 'burb apart the rear shifted to one side. I think they can be under load one way or another. I was laying under the truck pushing the frame with my feet and the rear with an arm trying to get the bar on to the mount. It was one of the many BFH moments working on that stuff. Your arm is probably still sore from taking out those U-bolts

Re: Starting 72 rear axle install..
NO.....you'll have to move the trailing arm mounts and the '72 uses the short panhard bar. So you'd be best off to transfer the panhard bar and it's mount from your current rear end to the new one. In other words, cutting and welding required.

Re: Starting 72 rear axle install..
Only 63 and newer is it a bolt in. Your trailing arm pads are different width apart on the earlier trucks.

Re: Starting 72 rear axle install..
I get mine from a business that specializes in new and rebuilt automotive springs. You should be able to get them from a good auto parts supplier such as NAPA.
