Axle Swap Question
I have a 69 C10 that I want to convert to 5 lug. I have a pair of 71-72 5 lug axles and drums that I would like to use. Can these axles be used in the 69 housing if I have some spacers machined to go between the housing flange and backing plate to compensate for the longer 71-72 axle? I can get a sheet of aluminum for 30 bucks from McMaster Carr and have the machine work done by a friend for a case of beer most likely. If this would work it's way more cost effective than buying conversion axles.
