I HAVE A 69 CHEYENNE SHORTBED AND THE FRONT HAS BEEN CONVERTED OVER TO 5-LUG, BUT THE BACK HAS NOT. I HAVE THE 5-LUG AXLES FOR THE BACK, AND I HAVE A COMPLETE REAR END OFF A 70 GMC. MY QUESTION IS THIS....CAN I SIMPLY PULL THE SIX LUG AXLES OUT OF MY REAR END AND REPLACE WITH THE 5-LUG AXLES? I MEASURE THE 69 REAR END VERSES THE 70, AND THE 69 IS ABOUT 3/4 OF AN INCH SHORTER ON EACH SIDE. WILL THIS MATTER OR DO I NEED TO PUT THE 5-LUG AXLES IN THE 70 REAR END SINCE IT MEASURES THE SAME AS THE 71-72 REAR ENDS. ANY HELP ON THIS WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO GO WITH THE 70 HOUSING AND DO THE COMPLETE REAR END SWAP AFTER I PUT THE 5-LUG AXLES INTO THE 70 REAR END, BUT IT SURE WOULD BE NICE IF I COULD JUST SWAP OUT THE AXLES IN MY 69. PLEASE HELP!!!
