hello i am new to the forum, and am currently working on restoring my 1962 Chevy short wide. i have already changed the front K-member to a 1978 for the 5X5 bolt pattern. and was wondering if there was anyway to keep my original rear end because it is a 10 bolt with a 3.90 gear ratio. I think i can redrill the axles and brake drums, but was wondering if there were any aftermarket axles or lockers/spools available. any help will be appreciated.
