'70 axle width ?
I'm considering changing my '70 stepper to 5 lug rear and I know this has been covered elsewhere, but how can I determine if my rear axle housing is the narrow (early) or wide (late) width? Are the axle bearing the same for both?

Re: '70 axle width ?
If you have the later (longer) rear end, check Advance Auto for axles. I bought some and they work well and were less than $160 to my door for the pair! Just order them for a '70.

Re: '70 axle width ?
Axle length from the mounting surface of the axle itself to the end of the splines : 30 1/2 for the early housing, and 31 5/16 for the later housing
