im looking for a new(used) rear for 71 4x4 half ton. the one in there now isnt stock. has cobbled on spring pads and shock mounts...the drive shaft mounts to the rear with flat saddles over the u joints with bolts threaded into yoke(i think its called yoke)...not sure if this is stock or not. when i got the truck it had no driveshaft and i had one built for it to fit this rear...ok the questions are is this the way stock was mounted? one of the board members says he has a rear end out of a 69 or 70...is this a direct bolt in? im thinking it probably is long as it was leaf mounted rear....any input would be appreciated
