Re: SWB 6-lug axle vs LWB 5-lug axle
The axles may be the same width if the axle is a late 1970. In 70, there were 2 widths of axles:
Early: 62 3/8” WMS, same as 67-69
Late: 63 3/4” WMS, same as 71-up
It would help to put a tape measure on the axle in the SWB before ordering parts, as there is a small chance that your 5 lug axles will fit if it’s the late 1970 axle.
