Identifying front 5 lug swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought a 70 C10 that has 5 lug front and 6 lug rear. So its safe to assume the front was swapped. I see that it is possible to use 71-72 or 73-87 components. What is the easiest way to identify what was used for the swap?

One way is to look at the inner A arm bushings, 71-72 front ends used steel screw in ones and 73-87 used press in steel/rubbers ones
