My guess would be no. The 71's were like 60" hub to hub, the 69's were maybe 57"?

Cougar & Mustang shared all chassis parts. The rears from 67-73 will fit.

28 spline in all, unless it's a Drag-Pak rear. Another way to get 31 spline is to find a Lincoln or wagon pumpkin, and change the gears, and find the 31-spline axles.

center sections may be the same, pretty sure rears are not (width, etc). See this link.
