Re: Rear end axle change 1962

Most of the '71 & '72 C10 12 bolts of course are setup for trailing arms and coils plus they have the 5 x 5" wheel stud pattern. But in my experience they are difficult to find and $$$$$ when you do find one.

What about using a newer than 70 12 bolt rear end that has 5 stud axles, coil springs, and pan hard bar setup, if there is such a critter?
