Re: rear end lengths
Tha 72 rear ends were an inch or two wider, they will mount up with no trouble just make sure you do the math correctly on your back spacing of your wheels. There was a ton of room running stock wheels but it can get real close real quick with your B.S. in the mid 5's

Re: rear end lengths
Are you switching to 5-lug?
What wheels are you going to use?
