WTB: Complete 5 lug rearend in So. Cali - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GABE310 · 11-18-2003, 04:31 PM

I'm in the process of converting my 68 Chevy truck from 6 lug to 5 lug. I would like to swap out the 6 lug rearend with a 71-72 truck 5 lug rearend. If any one has one for sale in or near the Los Angeles area please e-mail me or leave a post.
Thanks.

Hi, I have a 5 lug rear from a 71 two wheel drive Blazer. I am replacing this with a disc brake rear.

I am up by San Francisco though. If you are not able to find one near you, lets talk...

John, Let me keep looking down here. I see in your signature that the 71 blazer is for sale. What are you asking for it? Got any pics.

Would it just be easier to just swap the axels?

I think you will run into issues cause later 5 lug axles are longer. Another possibilty is to have yours redrilled by a machine shop for whatever bolt patteren you want.
