Yes, that is the book..

Scotti, good point on the spline count.. Interesting enough, mine had an aftermarket posi and axles in it when I bought it.. Didn't realize there was a difference.

The trailing arms are wider than the frame where they meet the Rear on my 63.. I'd assume it's that way on all the 60-72's.. Also, the spring in stock location sits in between the LCA and frame rail. If you were to bag it or use coil overs, you could notch the frame and have no issues with the rear suspension.
