Good luck.

Re: looking for info on my rear(end)

measure the rear end from backing plate to backing plate. Search on here (or ask again) the width of the early 70 verses late 70 12 bolt rear. (I can't remember the numbers off the top of my head) Odds are you can just get axles from a 71/72 (and into the mid 70's too) and the matching drums, and just slap them in your rear. Most 70 rears are the wider style, like the later ones.
