You can anything if you try but they do not interchange so would take a bit of work.

are the brackets in the same spot as the new version,
also can you get repro's for the type 3

i suggest that you trial fit it up and use a measuring tape as well

It can be done but you will need to fabricate/ modify the brackets. The pre-70 use 2 bolt mounting brackets at front, whereas 70-74 have larger 3 bolt brackets.
