completely bolt-in, any year up to 72.
Use a 71 or 72 rear to get 5 lug bolt pattern.
I'm a 67-72 junkie myself. This is the last one I built. No, I'm not a gold chainer. This was my daily driver for 2 years.
i think the only differance is the length of the panhard bar, but it should be ok if you got the one to go with the axle.
