Posting a reply for anyone else that may have the same question.

Yes, the spindle did work. On the truck and driving.

Thank you for the replies. Interesting that my 70 had a closed knuckle axle. Could have been changed at some point in it's life with whatever was available or could have been left over from 69. I changed it out to get disc brakes.

Had to cut the broken end off with a hand grinder and a chisel to get it off over the axle where it had worn down and melted a bit. Not a fun job. Very thankful for snap rings !!!!
