Help 5x4.75 front and rear

[D.bala]

I Aquired a new to me 67 c10.. affectionately refered to as good enough. As the previous owner this was his motto.... i did this to the truck... not right but good enough!!!!. there was already a front disk converion done and all wheels are 5 bolt.. it wasn't until i got some vintage wheels and tried to put them on that the truck is 5x4.75 all the way around... i understand the front is easy to do this but what possibly did he do to the rear to get drum brakes 5x4.75?????

Passenger car rear . My Chevelle had a 12 bolt drill 5x4.75 it now has a 9 inch

I have ordered lowering springs spindles and swaybars front and rear any idea if this will cause me any grief with a swapped rear? .. why would you swap it to car rear and not put a posi in it at the same time??? Is this more good enough?

Are you sure they’re 5x4.75?
Did you measure them?
Post some pics of your wheels and your rearend.

[D.bala]

Yes i measured them. took center cap off. They are currently some sort of chev rally wheel with the center cap bolted to the wheel.. i haven't been under her yet and still have to figure a way to image host to post pics

[geezer#99]

Sound like truck rallies. 3 bolts hold the cap on.
Describe how you measured them.

[D.bala]

Measured center to center across 2 studs skipping 1 stud wheels are 15x8 yes 3 bolts/ slotted head screw

[geezer#99]

You measured wrong.
Outside of stud to centre of opposite stud is the way.
That would make them 5x5.

[D.bala]

Well crap!!@!! ( insert head dope slap here ) well now That explains EVERYTHING!!! GEEZER you da man

[geezer#99]

So then your truck is 5x5.
The rear axles were likely changed to match the front. There’s a kit made for that. Yours likely was swapped.

thats much better and what I thought it was

[geezer#99]
