I dont know about that but you can make it fit I put a rear end from '95 Impala SS to my '82 I had to do little work for leafspring mounts and brake lines and found it the rear end is little shorter no big deal made 1/4 spacers and put Moser long studs

Your problem is going to be spring pad width. The 67-72 trucks have a narrower pad width. You can always grind them off and re-weld them, like I had to do when installing the '04 14 bolt in my crew cab.
