Re: 73 rear end
No you can't. The later axles are 3/4 inch longer each. Your easiest bet it to get a set of axle saddles and a track bar from ECE or similar place and just run the whole rearend.

Re: 73 rear end
perches to mount the axel on the trailing arms are available you'd need them welded on plus a mount for the panhard bar// and easy conversion

Re: 73 rear end
Thats what I did to my 70 to go from 6 to 5 lugs. Just swaped the axels from a 70 something but dont remember what year. Didnt even change seals or anything.

Re: 73 rear end
They changed the rearends to the wider ones partway through the 70 year model run. Your must be one of the later 70 units that's wider. His 69 is definitely narrower.

Re: 73 rear end
Its been many, many years but now that you bring that up you are correct about the change in 70.
