Well it seams. The rear was changed at some point and not orignal to the 70 truck
The rear is out of a truck thou
Is the drum splined onto the axel?
At some point. Can I pull the axel. Install green bearing
Install new normal type axels along with normal brakes

Is the drum splined onto the axel? No, it's a tapered fit with a key.
At some point. Can I pull the axel. Yes. after you pull the drum with a drum puller. Install green bearing Have no clue.

Not without some modifications; they changed the bolt pattern at the end of the housing in '65...you can install the later brakes with custom axles and Green bearings but you'll have to re-drill the bolt pattern.
