5 lug help
I looked at changing my rear drums into 5 lug disk and it'd be like a grand a bit pricy.. where can I get 5 lug drums at and can I just change the shoe or do I need to change the guts too?
I found a guy with a parts truck I think its a 71 with 5 lug drum in the back and 5 lug disk in the front. He told me it would be easier to take the whole rear axle and both A arms.. is he just trying to sell me stuff I don't need or what?? |

Re: 5 lug help
I took my 6 lug axles and 5 lug drums to a guy with a small machine shop at his house and he redrilled the axles for 5 bolt. He had to weld 1 hole shut in order to make it work ,also had to machine down outside center of axle because hole is smaller in 5 lug drum. He charged me 80 bucks and it works great.
