question about converting 6 bolt lug to 5 bolt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

how easy or hard is it to do this and where might I find the adapters?

this place in Temple, Texas told us that they had to be custom made and that they would be $200 a piece. Is this factual or should I start looking around?

I have Moser axles in my 69(around $260 a pair , shipped to me). You need to get a measurement on the lenght, as some of the early diffs were a bit narrower. Then just swap the drums to 5 lug ,& you are on the road.

You can buy the spindles from Early Classic Enterprises (ECE) for around $225 and then you can have your axles redrilled in the rear to 5 hole at most any machine shop!
