Re: Need some Info!
The axle lengths are different on some. I believe the mid 69 to 72 are the same, and the 67-mid 69 are the same . I could be wrong, i'm sure someone else will chime in to correct me....

Re: Need some Info!
I think centless has it right. The axle shafts are different lenghts. You can exchange the whole assembly. Remember that some axles are coil spring and others are leaf. This would be a different kettle of fish.

Axle lengths changed during the '70 model year to the longer ones.

Re: Need some Info!
You can use the 5 lug axles as they say in the older 67-69 axle housing and go get drums for a 74-87 chevy truck with 11-5/32 brakes. The drum is 3/4" wider than stock and will work fine with the existing brakes,ie 2" brakes. I will go get a link for a thread on this modification.
Here is the linky: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=215095 Last edited by Aarons72s; 12-13-2006 at 04:18 PM. |
