Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
Okay, I'm not sure if anyone else has taken this route but I figured I'd try it and see what happens. After doing some looking I found that Advance Auto Parts sells Motive Gear replacement axles for our trucks for $87.99 each. Well, after confirming they were 5 lug and and the correct length I took the leap. Because I bought them through the web site I received a 15% discount and free shipping. I did have to pay tax on them but with a total of $158.56, to my door, I figure the state could have their $8.98.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
Seems like a good price if it works out. Keep in mind your 68 has the narrow rear end if still original.

Sounds like a great deal if they send you the right ones.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
I just found this in the for sale section:
{ According to Moser's site 65 - 69 are 30-1/2" and 70 - 81 are 31-5/16" } Hopefully you can double check the new ones before you take the rear apart. Not sure they know their years, lol.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
^^ This measurement is from the outer flange edge (where the wheel mounts to the axle) to the end of the axle itself.
I have a 70 with a wide housing and it was 6 lug. (not now .. ![]()

![]() The wide 70 rearend housing will accept the 71-72 5-lug axles,... because they are the same length. I have two of them. From the factory,... all 1970 model 2wd trucks were 6-lug and 4-wheel drum brake.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
Hey Keith or Chad, so is this the set I need to order for my wider 70 rear end C10 so I can do the 5 lug swap?

I assume they are stock replacement axles for a 71-72 truck. My only concern is if they are "NEW" axles,... or reconditioned used axles. Moser axles will be new.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
Also, the 15% promo code FE4 off looks like it ends tomorrow 8 Feb 2013, but if you download their sales flyer there is a link on the back page that will give you the 15% off until 27 Feb 2013.
Looks like a good deal. Thanks, John I tried to add this info to the above post but this site has some 30 minute time limit to edit your post...so double post instead.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
Wonder what the part number would be for the more narrow rear end?

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
I dont think they have it for a narrow rear end. I searched the site for axles for a 67 and they did not even have a listing...although they did have the entire axle housing (Gear Differential Case? listed for $300.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
I found this part number MG6569. However, it states that its for CV axles.

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
I am thinking that because the 70-81 are the same axle they list the 5 lug axle for those years. Hopefully it is a wonderful coincidence!

Re: Conversion axles $158.56 to my door?
Buck, post up the length of the wheel studs when they arrive please sir. My Moser axles had really short studs in them.
