can i put 1971 5 lug rear axles in to my 1965 chevy c-10? i see on napaonline.com they have an axle set with bearings and seals for $174.00. all the conversion kits i've seen are for 1963-1970. 1963-64 need an axle gear set as well. if the conversion works for a 1970, then why can't you just put a 1971 axles in to a 1965 rearend? any advice?
