The '70 has 44" spring centers and the '71-'74 has 47.3" spring centers so it won't fit without moving the springs/spring pads.

I make a 1 1/4" offset hanger/shackle kit for '71-'74 B-bodies. This kit moves the spring perches off the housing ends when you install an early B-body housing.
E-mail me if you are interested.

So are the actual width's the same from backing plate to backing plate?

'71-'74 B-body rearends are much wider than the earlier versions.
