I bought a whole 5 lug rear end that came out of a 71 chevy 2wd for $100.00 I am putting just the axles in my housing to convert to 5 lug. I saw a post on here that said the front spindles i got off a 72 would stick out farther than the 70 model 6 lug i have on it now. Is this true and is that three quarters of an inch and if i order wheels with more backspacing does that make it work?
Also if it is 3/4 of inch will it be noticeable? thanks ahead of time!!!!
