Ok ..I'm clear on the short axles & tubes ...But not clear on the bearing cap's ...?? I know there are 3 different bearing caps  short axles /short splines...Long axles /Short splines.....long axles/Long splines .... Now are there only those 3 caps....?? Which caps do I need...? I have seen the tech article posted but I'm still confused...??

Hot VW's had a good article on the whole short/long axle thing a couple years ago. But here is a link to some Samba Action in the meantime http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/archive/index.php/o-t--t-406753--.html

You can also use some from an oval.  That is what I had to do when I mounted Porsche B brakes on the rear of my '66.

OK I've answered my own question here !...I did some checking and came up with this conclusion that you "CAN" use the caps off a 67 shortspline/long axle it's the same as the early short axle caps the only difference is the oil slinger style ....I also confirmed this thru the expertise at Oldspeed
