67 GMC Quick Build

Did you machine down the axle hub on these to fit the transport wheels and newer rear disc or did you bore out the disc and the wheel?

My gears were toast and one axleshaft was ate up bad. So I pulled those parts from a 65 rot-box my buddy and I have. Picked up some late model brakes and converted the axle. Also it had 2 plug welds in the chunk that were missing and one spot had a hole straight through. Welded up those holes and the axle tubes to the center section.

New brake mounts made for late model disc with integrated drum parking brake


Cut off Brake mounts


New mounts installed


Welded up tubes


Installed and all together:

I drive the hell out of this truck. Power Tours, crusies, daily, etc. I machined the axles down so that it can take any rotor from any parts store or any 6 lug wheel if I need a spare.
