A 5-lug question.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but i can't find it--what years of 5-lug axles if any will fit my '68 differential? Thanks!

I would thing you would be better off just redrilling your current axles to the 5 lug you want.
The newer axles (5lug) are wider. Only 1" I believe, but enough to require some extra work to make them work. Just redrill. My $.02

My axles were out of a 74 and they were 3/4" wider on EACH side I made a spacer plate for EACH side and seem to be doing OK so far.I allso used the wider drums from donor truck in my 70

Easy way...either have your axles inspected and redrilled for a 5 on 5 pattern, or locate a 71/72 rear.
