Okay, here's the scoop:

All swing axle shafts were the same from early 63-on.

All inner hubs were the same from '66-on.

All brake drums were the same from '66-on.

Bob's right about wanting to put on the late backing plates. Good call, Bob; I 
hadn't thought of that.

So if you just swap in the the parts above that you don't already have (drums, 
hubs, backing plates) you should then be set up exactly like the 66-68s were.
