5 lug swap to 6 lug 10 bolt

97 c1500 10 bolt .... Is there a place I can order 6 lug axles to replace my 5 lug ?

I found a set of Billet wheels 22x9 that I want to run but I don't want to have to use adapters.. I know the fronts are just a rotor change but if I can't do it easily I will just walk away ...

Thanks.

Could probably check with moser or strange and see if they can make you a set of axles 6 lug instead of 5 lug.

Find a light duty 2500 2wd they are 6 lug rears, They are bigger rearends then the half tons so the axles wont just swap in, but the rearend is a driect swap in a halft on. The 4wd rear ends are 3 inchs wider than 2wd ones, but I cant remember if its 3 inchs overall are each side.

Moser or have a machine shop redrill your current axles. I've done all the research cause I planned to do the same thing but have put that plan on hold since my 225s actually fit.

Since all you have is a half-ton, swap the complete rearend. Best find would be a semi-floater, should swap right in.
