I don't see why it can't be done. The problem would be with your hubs. The hubs on the 67-72 (maybe even the 60-72?) are similar to the 14 bolts, they are iron and the drum presses on the rear.

Ther earlier hubs from the 47-59 trucks are just a flat flange that use a hat style drum.

I guess what I'm saying, the early hubs on the later axle may be an option. Of course, there's the braking issue and whether or not your wheels will fit over the hub register.
