I've been asking the same thing on a few other sites...
What I've heard(and not confirmed) is that Abody
rears fr4om 64-72 WILL bolt up...but the width is different.

The rear in my '70 will bolt right in to my '65,
however the width of the 70 rear will be 2" wider overall.
It should be easily overcome by a rim with deeper backspacing.

I'd love to hear some real world experience though...
