Spindle question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I also posted this in the 4x4 forum, so if you are reading it twice my apologies.

Swapped my front axle in my 70 K10 to a 71 to get disc brakes several years ago. Tore it down thinking wheel bearings were out and discovered a broken spindle with the bearings welded to the nut!

My question is, I still have the old closed knuckle axle (both are Dana 44). Will the spindle from my old axle work on my newer one ? I know I could remove the other side and compare, but would rather not break down 3 if someone has the answer

Thank you
