But ... for all intents and purposes, as Lumbersawyer says .... same axle used for 'late 47 through '72 on 3/4 and 1-tons. The '68 - '72s have an optional 4.11 gear set in the 3rd member that's a direct bolt in replacement. Look for a '68 - '72 3/4-ton with coil springs and automatic tranny. The other good news is that the later Bendix brakes will bolt right up to replace the Huck brakes. But you'll need everything from the backing plates out, including the backing plates. Might as well just get the whole axle assembly. Then, sell your 5.56 gear set to a rock crawler and make your money back.
