Re: Questions about a five lug deal I found

For the rear, you have a few choices. You can have your axles redrilled, or buy replacement axles. Some of our Forum Vendors offer them as well as Moser. You can also replace the entire axle with a 71-72 as mentioned and its a direct bolt in although they are wider. Once again the 73+ donor truck can provide you with an axle as well, but they are all leaf springs, and no provision for panhard bar.

If you want rear discs, you will need to look at aftermarket kits. Captfab sells a really simple kit, that might be of interest. Several of our Forum Vendors offer various brand kits, so you will need to research that option as well.
