ok my truck is a 1986 c 10 after blowing the motor after 230,000 miles on the motor truck has 250,000. the rear was stock 3.08.

My first ? is this what years and what models can a new rear come out of like vans are those the same and so on.

my next one was for fun actually i have a 79 one ton with a real nice 14 bolt but i really like my 5 lug so what would i have to do to make a 8 lug a 5. once again this is for fun i might not even try.

one idea was to knock out the studs weld holes closed drill new holes and put in the correct studs. i know dumb idea but just curious

Any year from 73 to 87 truck, and up to 91 on Burbs and Blazers should be the same width.

As far as converting 8 lug to 5 it could be done but the hub would be too big for most 5 lug wheels.

hub (the part the stud hammer into right)

or u mean the brake drum ause i was thinking about that part to today as the one tone has 16s and my half has 15s so there has to be a reason

What 14 bolt do you have? Doesn't it have a center bearing hub?

My guess is the brake drum might be to big as well. Sell that 14 bolt and buy you a 10 or 12.
