corvette differential 6 lug?

[wholio]

i was just wondering is there any possible way to make a 5 lug corvette differential in to a 6 lug?

Are you talking about the straight axle ones from a 53-62 Corvette?

I'm sure you could replace the axle shafts with 6 lug, or fill and re-drill the hub.

What kind of swap do you have in mind?

well since im already doing a 2wd conversion from a 4x4 i was thinkin if i could use the corvette suspension this guy is selling the complete front and back suspension heres pics

If you are going through all that then I'd say changing the lugs over is insignificant in comparison. Anything's possible...

i know for a fact its not a direct fit,
but has any one done it before,
i dont want to jump into something knowing for a fact that it wont work

If your doing all the work to install the Corvette pieces why are you worrying about converting from the 5 to 6 lug. Go with 5 lug! If your planning on putting this conversion under a 3/4 ton... I wouldn't. Just my thoughts.

I know its been done on the rear of a blazer since there was one for sale on ebay a little bit back . but you are going to have alot of fab time in the mounts and making sure everything is going to line up so it drive striaght down the road and you have no drive line issuses . I would keep it all five lug vett so you dont have a hodge podge of parts that dont work right together .
