Conversion axles $158.56 to my door? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C10_ustacould · 02-07-2013, 12:30 AM

Okay, I'm not sure if anyone else has taken this route but I figured I'd try it and see what happens. After doing some looking I found that Advance Auto Parts sells Motive Gear replacement axles for our trucks for $87.99 each. Well, after confirming they were 5 lug and and the correct length I took the leap. Because I bought them through the web site I received a 15% discount and free shipping. I did have to pay tax on them but with a total of $158.56, to my door, I figure the state could have their $8.98.

I'll let you all know how it turns out when they arrive, probably next week.

Seems like a good price if it works out. Keep in mind your 68 has the narrow rear end if still original.

Thanks for the reminder, but I built a '70 (longer) rear end to help with wheel fittment.

in for your update...and part numbers

Street Smart · 02-07-2013, 02:39 PM

Sounds like a great deal if they send you the right ones.

Street Smart · 02-07-2013, 02:42 PM

I just found this in the for sale section:

{ According to Moser's site 65 - 69 are 30-1/2" and 70 - 81 are 31-5/16" }

Hopefully you can double check the new ones before you take the rear apart.
Not sure they know their years, lol.

**CC69Rat** · 02-07-2013, 03:12 PM

^^ This measurement is from the outer flange edge (where the wheel mounts to the axle) to the end of the axle itself.

I have a 70 with a wide housing and it was 6 lug. (not now ..

)

ChevyCruizer · 02-07-2013, 03:42 PM

Looks like it is Part No. 14071751

ChevyCruizer · 02-07-2013, 04:14 PM

Also, the 15% promo code FE4 off looks like it ends tomorrow 8 Feb 2013, but if you download their sales flyer there is a link on the back page that will give you the 15% off until 27 Feb 2013.

Looks like a good deal.

Thanks, John

I tried to add this info to the above post but this site has some 30 minute time limit to edit your post...so double post instead.

Rochlow · 02-07-2013, 04:30 PM

Wonder what the part number would be for the more narrow rear end?

ChevyCruizer · 02-07-2013, 04:57 PM

I dont think they have it for a narrow rear end. I searched the site for axles for a 67 and they did not even have a listing...although they did have the entire axle housing (Gear Differential Case? listed for $300.

I found this part number MG6569. However, it states that its for CV axles.

C10_ustacould · 02-07-2013, 05:06 PM

I am thinking that because the 70-81 are the same axle they list the 5 lug axle for those years. Hopefully it is a wonderful coincidence!

HotRod C/10 · 02-07-2013, 08:55 PM

not according to this guy.

That's me.

The wide 70 rearend housing will accept the 71-72 5-lug axles,... because they are the same length.
I have two of them.

From the factory,... all 1970 model 2wd trucks were 6-lug and 4-wheel drum brake.

Hey Keith or Chad, so is this the set I need to order for my wider 70 rear end C10 so I can do the 5 lug swap?
