Would this be the right part for my truck?

[73GMC10]

Hi, I need a rear spindle retaining washer for my 73 gmc 2500 4x4 with a 14 bolt ff, the local stores cant find anything and I think the closest I could find is this

just wondering if anyone would know if this would work for me?

What do you mean "spindle retaining washer"? I don't see that description in the parts diagram.

the rear 14 bolt full floater when you go to take the hub off you have to first take the axle shaft out, then the outer spindle nut, then the spindle nut retainer/washer I always heard ppl call it washer or retainer, then the inner spindle nut then theres a flat washer
I need the spindle nut retainer wich on the link has a picture of the item I need, just not sure if its the correct one or not for my application and don't want to get the wrong part since I have to order it online.
thanks

OK, I think this is the right page. Looks like it has 14 bolts anyway. Download this for yourself so I can remove it because it's big.

Which part do you need? I can look up the part number, and sometimes it's easier to find things that way.

it appears to be #17 called lock hub adjusting it shows the front nut then #17 and it looks like it has the tabs that are in the picture of the summit link I sent, but again need to know the proper part number as im not sure if 618-049 is the correct one size of those for my truck
