To Swap or not to swap...

To swap, or not to swap, that is the question...

Ok guys, i'm asking for your opinion:

I recently swapped my '72 LWB C10 to a short frame, turning the Long bed and frame into a trailer.

Since i needed a rear end for both, i picked up a 6 lug rear, on the cheap, with the original intention of throwing it under the trailer, and moving the 5 lug under the SWB frame.

Now after much consideration, i've come to a point where i need to make a decision:

Is it worth the time and effort to remove the 5 lug from under the truck, where it's resided for almost 40 years, or do i just convert the 6 lug to 5 lug.

whichever goes under the SWB will end up getting a full rebuild with 3:73 gears (will reside behind a 700r4)...

Fire away
