so i spent the afternoon reading posts about the interchangeblity(is this even a word?) of chunks through out the yrs.
and just to clarify, a 75 3rd will bolt in a 77 axle using the 77 axles, correct? the pinion flange should also be the same as well?
you are correct . Pinion flange changed in early 70's I think maybe in 75 so it may be a production date question. I also thought that cruisers went non c-clip at some point hopefully after 77 for what you are asking .

Mostly right, but pinion flanges were the same 75-84 (same bolt pattern anyway, the earlier flanges were cast, later ones machined), C-clips stayed until 1994 if your 80 series had drum brakes in the rear with the associated semifloat axle.

78 model year started in 9/77 [look to addition of side defrost option, overhead windshield squirter nozzle] fine spline pinion a few months later. You guessed it, 1/78
