12 bolt rear question
i have a 12 bolt 5 lug rear in my 71 chevy cheyenne, that has a bad carrier.
the locking bolt for the cross pin broke and it wallowed the pin hole out in the carrier. now i have another 12 bolt from a 70 model that is a posi and measures the same width from backing plate to backing plate. but its a six lug. can i use my old axles and brake drums in the new rear? is there anything to watch out for when changing the axles in the posi rear? can i mess up the springs or clutches changing out the axles ? any insights or comments on this swap would be appreciated. thanks, Tony
