5 Lug Conversion Axles for $74 Bucks Each - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bubbasimms · 02-15-2018, 09:03 AM

Got a pair of these 5 lug axles coming for my 69. Part number is MG6569....a certain shopping website has them for only $74 Bucks each with free shipping. The same axle is selling for about $150 each everywhere else. I called and they are drilled for 1/2" studs and the hub register is supposed to be sized for the 71-87 brake drums. Mine should be here in a couple days.

Sooo, Is it a secret where your ordering them from ?

Toms67 · 02-15-2018, 09:24 AM

This looks like a pretty good deal. You get the brake drums and the bearings. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/y...del/c10-pickup

bubbasimms · 02-15-2018, 09:38 AM

No secret, I just wasn't sure of the rules. I'm getting them off Amazon. Ebay had a set for about the same price.

That deal from Summit is great if you need drums

How did you come up with this part number being correct for 65-69 axle housings?

Keystone_Hate · 02-15-2018, 10:45 AM

That's a smoking deal for sure. Has anyone used these axles before? Any issues?

This would save me a bunch of money on my rear end rebuild that I'm doing soon. But I don't want to save money at the cost of quality.

**SoCoC10** · 02-15-2018, 11:35 AM

Ordered mine thru Summit Racing. They price matched plus I needed a couple other parts so bundled together for free shipping.

bubbasimms · 02-15-2018, 11:38 AM

I didn't know Summit would price match, that's good to know. I may have went that way also and picked up a few misc things at the same time.

bubbasimms · 02-16-2018, 07:58 PM

Got my axles in today....they are as they should be. The hub fits the 5 lug drum perfectly, drilled for 1/2 inch stud, correct length, splined right and the machining for the c clip is correct. Gotta say I'm very pleased.

popik · 06-09-2018, 03:57 PM

Boo. Same part is triple the price up here in Canada on Amazon.

**SoCoC10** · 06-13-2018, 08:14 AM

Mine are in! 5 on 5" rear matches the disc brakes on the front of the 1969 C10 CST.

TruDom · 06-13-2018, 10:12 AM

i have a 70 c10 not sure if i have the wide or narrow axle. Does anyone know the measurements?
i measured 58" from inside drum to inside drum.

Typical America... seller gets greedy...or maybe just the price of materials went up...also typical.. blah

bluec10 · 11-26-2018, 02:50 PM

The description for this item says "rear right". Are the left-side and right-side shafts different?

no

Basketcase889 · 05-31-2020, 06:28 PM

In case anyone else is looking for these, they are $90 at summit. Just ordered a set

greenweenie · 11-23-2024, 10:20 AM

Thanks for all the posts above, price still good on Amazon as of November 2024, $100. Does anyone happen to have the hub diameter spec? Can't seem to find it, thanks, Mike

**dmjlambert** · 11-23-2024, 01:38 PM

I went through the conversion on my 1969 CST/10 and got the Motive Gear MG6569 axle shafts. According to Q&A on Summit’s site that says the brake pilot is 3.06" and I measured the hole in the 71 brake drum at 3-1/8. So, they fit fine. The price of these shafts is fine through Summit, Amazon, or who I bought them from was National Drivetrain's listing on eBay. The price seems to change frequently.
