Re: 12 bolt axles??

I doubt they are the same as the 67-70's (pre disc brake trucks)....but they might be the same as the '71-'72's.
(noting that the 67-70's had a smaller wheelbase width than the 71'-72's and this would have been reflected in the rear axle housing and the axle lengths within it).
Maybe some guys with some more experience with this will weigh in with a bit more info.
All good

Re: 12 bolt axles??

1969 and earlier trucks axles are shorter than 70 and up. About 3/4" if memory serves me right. What bolt pattern are you needing? The reason I ask is I have a new set of CPP axles for the earlier trucks 5 on 5 pattern and I need the later year axles. Maybe swing a swap deal?
