Re: 6 lug rear to 5lug rear swap help?

The cheapest solution is to install a 71-72 rearend.
Your 65 rearend housing is the same as the 67-(early)70 6-lug housings,... which are narrower than the 71-72 housings. (1-1/2 total width narrower)
If you keep your 65 rearend,... the only solution is to buy aftermarket axles.

Some say you can put a spacer behind the backing plates to move them out.
But I don't reccomend this. (just my opinion)
