Rims, or Axles?
 

I have a real nice set of 5 bolt centerline wheels with brand new tires on them from another project. I would like to use them on my 68 C10 2WD. The problem is my truck has 6 lug axles. Would it be cheaper to find new hubs&axles, or buy new rims and tires. If I could find a donor vehicle, do 5 and 6 lug axles have the same number of splines/length/ diameter? What years/model would be a direct fit? If the answer is no to all, does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced new/used 6 lug wheels? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

well, there are lots of factors to consider. first off, what size bolt pattern are the centerlines? If you aren't sure, what were they on previously?

they came off of a 1980 Z28 camaro

Well, for those, you may want to just buy some adapters, since the bolt pattern of those are 5x4.75. just look for some 6x5.5 (IIRC) hub to 5x4.75 wheels. Adapt-it appears to have these, but they look a bit pricey to me. maybe try summit or one of the board vendors.

Late model 6 lug Chevy trucks use the same bolt pattern as the 67-70 trucks. You could probably find a set of stock or aftermarket wheels at a junk yard that would work.

that is if you want to keep those rims. if you want to get some others, Old Yeller 1970 has a good idea

I searched all over the web, and the only place I could find adapters for 6-lug was adapt-it. And you are right, very pricey. It looks like my best bet is gonna be new wheels. Thanks for all the help.
