Re: 5 lug axles in 6 lug diff....

The rear went out on my 71 and I found an older one laying around. I had a buddy who works at a machine shop weld up the holes and redrill them for 5 lug. I used my old drums and put in longer studs because as stated here the older rears are narrower. I used wheel spacers. I didnt spend much and it works fine.
