I'm not sure about the '71 but the '72 rear is 3/4" wider on each side than the '68. LockDoc

Re: 68 rear diff help???
thanks for the help guys! Is it worth keeping the 6 bolt and converting the front or going with the back and converting to 5? Just wondering for rim selection it seems there's a lot more selection for 6 bolt.
