6 lug rear end adapter question

[ET702]

I bought a 72 c10 truck with a fat man stage 2 front suspension kit, so now it has a 5x5 lug pattern I believe. The rear end has a 6 lug pattern and I don't have enough money to swap the axles out to five lug. Don't know if it's good to put adapter on the rear end? Eventually I will swap out the rear axles to 5 lug. So I really want to buy adapters for the rear.

Nothing wrong with 6 bolt on the back until you can spring for new axles.
These guys will make custom ones.
Moving outboard an inch can have your tires rubbing the fenders though.

I think this is more of what you may be looking for. Keep in mind though that they are 2 inches thick. That may be an issue. You could probably contact them and see if they make a thinner option.

so the front end swap most likely pushed out the front wheels three quarters of an inch per side, is you can find skinny adaptors thatd be the way to go. unless youre running offset tires like i an in my 67 15x10 in the rear and 15x7 up front. hides the offset of the front end sticking out more

Yes I was going to offset the rims like you stated. I has thinking the same.
