Hello,
The 70-71 E-Bodies and B- bodies use one axle, and the 73-74 use another. The 70-71 is 1" Narrower than the later, so you can use that in you calculations. Also the 68-70 B-body will work in the 70-71 E, so you can look at those as well.
Good Luck,
Charles.

Buddy of mine has 2 '70-'73 'Cuda parts cars. I can probably measure one
drum-drum, get some photos of the rear end to compare with.
If this is a viable swap, I'll bear in mind for my '60 New Yorker -
Heck, if the motor and trans out of one would work in the NYer I'd cut one
of them up for parts, they're about rusted to pieces anyhow, and sell the
cuda stuff on eBay - supposedly the bucket seats are worth what he wants for
the car itself anyhow.
