The entire drive line is offset, this was done to give the driver room, the rear axle must remain this way, I would say what you have is either a frozen parking brake, or stick wheel all together. Try to remove the wheels and drums, back off the spur wheel on the drums if they won't pull off, be certain the parking brake cable is released too, I highly doubt the carrier or gears are frozen. The rear end is a 9" so any 28 spline center chunk would go right in if you needed to replace it, which is what you'll find in most Ford cars, but you will not be able to just swap out the unit as a whole unless it's from another 69-74 van.
