For USA.. Deluxe

Front
65 and older King Pin
66 and newer Ball Joint

Rear
68 and older manual transaxle Swing Axle
68 and newer Auto Stick CV joint (IRS) :wink: (edit)
69 and newer manual transaxle CV Joint (IRS)

61-66 are tunnel trans short axle swing axles
67 are long axle swing axles
68 are longer axle swing axles.. for the longer spline 4 lug drum. (manual transaxle). :lol:
