Go to moser axles websight. Your better off buying new axles.

Re: 5 lug changeover
Your best bet for a budget is to find an 71 72 truck and swap everything over. Which is not a hard task pretty much a bolt in.I know where everything you need is. rearend ,all the front pieces. I believe he told me 200 for everything. I thinking Danville isn't that far from me.
