Well if you have access to those 6 lug trucks see if one is a 1970, some of them had the wider housing (same length as 71-72 5 lug) then you can snag everything you need and swap out the 6 lug axles for some 5 lug axles. I forget the measurements but keith (lolife99) can tell you for sure. or for that matter measure all of the rears, my 67 had the wide 70 in it already, thats why I have an empty 71 housing.
