Need to replace a bent axle

[Captainfab]

Correction. Starting in late '70, the differentials were actually 1.5" wider overall than the early '70 to '63 12 bolts. So each axle is aprox .750" (3/4") longer. Yes the 5 lug wheel bolt pattern did start in '71.

'71 and '72 are 5 lug and have shorter axles.
