62 c/10 axle swap
The 62 I just got has the 10 bolt rear end with 6 lug. Is there a newer model 5 lug axle that will fit that rear end . Seems like it would be much easier than having to make a different housing fit the truck. Has anybody done this?

I used a 1970. About inch wider. You will have to weld on new perches no matter what.

Re: 62 c/10 axle swap
I'm talking about just sliding the axels out of the housing and new axels in,not doing a complete rear swap.

Re: 62 c/10 axle swap
If its the original 62 rear end there are no direct replacement axles.
You might be able to get your axles re welded.
