6 lug axle swap 59 Apache 3200

[Texasdeere]

Wondering if a 6 lug GM rear truck axle, 2.73 to 3.07 ratio, is the same or very close width match to my 59's rear axle? Any ideas? or no such thing? Thinking the E-brake cables might be fun to deal with too.

Just wanting to know if this was a good fit or not. I know most of the 67/70 C10's are going to be coil spring rears. I would like to keep the 6 lug wheels and thought a 12 bolt truck rear end with the 3.07 gears would make a nice fit if I could find one out of a leaf spring truck. Is cutting off the coil spring stuff going to be a problem?

Maybe a later model GM Truck K10 rear axle would work? I know most people go the 5 lug route with Camaro and S10 stuff. Just hoping some one has done a six lug before.

I have never done anything like this before.

Let me know what you think,

Thanks
