I got a 63 dart 7 1/4 small bolt axle will 73 dart 7 1/4 big bolt axle fit ?
 
Do you already have the 73' if yes pull an axle from each and compare. They are both C-clip shouldn't be to much trouble.

Look like they are different lengths

7.25 is not a c clip rear end.
Yeah, IIRC there are 4 bolts on each side. I think the later axles are shorter because the BBP brakes are wider and thus the backing plate is further inboard. But swapping the whole assembly should work, and would actually be easier, IMO. Just u-joint, brake hose, and u-bolts to mess with.
