12 Bolt Gear Swap
I am new to this board and looking for a little help. I have a 65 C10 with 12 bolt diff and want to swap in 3.08 gears and carrier from a 70's truck 12 bolt. Can I use my original axels? I dont want to change everything over to 5 lug wheels. Thanks for the help.

Re: 12 Bolt Gear Swap
A 72 axle is wider, so you couldn't use them anyway...you will need the side gears from the 72 axle because of a different spline count on the axleshafts..hope this helps

Re: 12 Bolt Gear Swap
Sicboy,
Do you mean you just swapped out the innards or the whole thing?

Re: 12 Bolt Gear Swap
It must have been from a 4x? The 2wd's had a 5 lug bolt pattern starting in '71.
