Question on 6bolt rear end swap

I currently have a 6 bolt rear end in my 67 1/2 ton. I want to have 5 bolt, but not sure on all my options. Would a older camaro,nova, or chevelle work? I want to keep the ratio low--around 4.11 or so. Any suggestions?

You can buy 5 lug replacement axles from a variety of places and keep your ring/pinion the same.

Re: Question on 6bolt rear end swap

or buy a 71 or 72 rear its a bolt in swap. It is supposed to be a little wider but it will work.
