axle question

i just bought a 1968 c10 fleet side. 6 lug of course, but i have a set of 5 lug axles. IF the length is the same, will they work in the 68 housing?

Re: axle question

im working on the same thing and i found that the 71-72 are about 3/4" longer. if your going to use drum brakes they wont line up correctly.

Re: axle question

As long as the length is the same and the spline count on both is the same it should slide right in.
