Hello guys, new guy here. Been reading your post for a couple months or so now. Have purchased three trucks recently, 67 and 68 short step chevys and 70 long fleet 3/4 ton chevy, to start my collection. Planning on combining them to make one or maybe two good trucks. Starting work on 67 frame now. Question is this: Converting to five lug. Taking advice from other post, I have the front end parts from a 73 and plan to just swap everything out. But what abt rear? Whats the easiest way to convert this? Been on the hunt for five lug rear from later year, but can't seem to locate. Have seen a few here and there, but for leaf susp. Need coil. Is it possible to just swap axles? Or can I even get five lug axles for a 67 rear? Any help here guys?
