Re: Rear axle (not rear end) swap - 6 lug to 5 lug

To my knowledge, there were no stock 5 lug on 5" circle that are the right length for that era truck rear end; when they went to 5 lug, they also went to a different length, although I just read Scoti's, and there may be a few very rare ones out there.
But why run an antique axle? New aftermarket is the best choice, except for redrilling your old axles in a 5 lug pattern.
