Re: Questions on axel swap
Front axle is a direct replacement. Rear axle requires relocating both the spring perches and the shock mounts. Rear springs should be 52” on a short square body and are direct replacements. Some squares had 56” springs but I don’t think 1/2 ton trucks did, but never say never.
The front springs are not interchangeable. They are too long for a 69-72.
