70, 71, 72, use the smaller diameter inner wheel bearing.
73, 74, use the larger diameter inner wheel bearing.
So 70, 71, 72, spindles are the same.
73, 74, spindles are the same.

E body was a "parts bin" car to save development money. So a lot of parts are the same as used on other models.

For disc brake knuckles, E body 1972 and earlier are the smll bearing B body parts. 1973 and later are the big bearing A body parts.

Just to add to this...

I'm restoring my 70 B body that has the smaller spindle and two piece rotors.

Moparts members tell me to buy a spindle sleeve from DR DIFF that allows you to use the less expensive and more reliable one piece rotor used on 73 and up mopar.

I ordered the spindle sleeve yesterday. I'll let you know how I make out.
