Axles drilled
Does anybody know of a good place in Phoenix AZ to get my axles drilled to five lug from six lug? Or does anybody know of a easy way to do it yourself I have access to a industrial mill.

I've never had any drilled but it's my understanding that it's hard to do those because one of the original holes has to be welded up before it is re-drilled. I have read on here that the axles are available from a couple of different vendors though. LockDoc

Re: Axles drilled
Thanks for replying I was wondering about that. Might not be worth all the trouble.

Re: Axles drilled
If the axles are for the 70 GMC in your sig. you may already have the wider axle housing. In this case 71-72 5 lug axles are a direct replacement. I did this on my 70 C10 and it worked great. Bought the axles off EBay for $40 from an auto wrecker.
I have been told the axle shafts from the square bodies fit also but I haven't confirmed this.
