1965 6lug to 5 lug axle swap

[chevtruck65]

i got a 65 c10 lwb i put a 1972 disc brake front end on my truck 5 lug and the rear is a stock 6 lug. I herd that u can take 1970's 5 lug axles and swap them they just have to be cut and re-splined, i just want to know what year trucks i can do this with so i get the right ones.

I think it would be easier to get yours welded up and re-drilled.

...it's a stright swap,rear end for rear end,just find a "72" rebuild the brakes,and put it in,no machineing nessary! if you gather up all the parts it can be done in 1-one day beer and all!
