Talking read 5-lug conversion

I have a 1964 c10. I just finished my front 5-lug disc brake conversion. I changed the ball joints and used 1984 suburban parts. Can I just swap the axles out of a 1972 c10 to get a 5- lug pattern. are the axle lengths the same from 1960 to 1972.

No. The axles on the '71-up trucks are 3/4" longer. You will need a conversion axle or swap the entire housing...

Thanks, I believe the bolt pattern would be the same 5 on 5. Is this correct.

5x5 pattern is correct for 5-lug pickups
