6 lug to 5lug questions

[aidans70]

my son's 70 gmc is 6 lug and I want to convert to 5 lug with disc brakes, are there any cheap options to be able to do this? what junk yard finds can I use to do this? also can I get axles from a newer truck and drums from that truck as well and just use them or are the lengths different on the newer trucks.

you could find a 72 Chevy/GMC truck and take the entire front, easy job and you know everything fits

you can have you axles redrilled. last time i had it done it cost me 50 for both.i dont like it myself because im afraid ill break the flange the way i beat on my rods, but the guy i sold the car to hasn't broken them...YET.

Alot of guys in the 70's used to do that. They used to paint alot of the truck plumb purple and throw pontiac motors in the c10's and 20's


Check out my Build mine was one that had been done that way

I used the front crossmember brakes stearing etc from an 82 doner truck I bought for 500$ to get discs n 5 lug on the front and ecc's rear axels. Was super cheap
