Moser lists all 70 rear ends to be same width as 71 and 72, and 73 and up. I've never heard much here about all 70 diff housings being same width...anyone???

I'm the one that's waiting for someone to come up with a 70 C-10 that has factory disc brakes. I had a thread about it. Might be a very limited option...back to topic...

C20, it would be best to fins a 71 or 72 diff with the 5 lug axles. You might be able to buy a combination U-joint to adapt your current drive shaft to the 1/2 ton diff...IF, IF the length of the drive shaft doesn't need to be altered... I don't know about that...
