lug patterns

So i was initially going to keep the 6 lug pattern on my 68 C10, but due to wheel options and other details involving the brakes I want i'm going to be changing out to 5 lugs. My question is are the Chevy 5 lug patterns the same as a Ford? I am thinking of putting a Ford 9 Inch rearend in place of the 12 bolt.

Re: lug patterns

some chevy and ford wheels are the same. The stock chevy pattern for 5 lug is 5 x 5. If you can verify the ford, you should be good. Moving to suspension for you....to get some more qualified guys to confirm

Re: lug patterns

These days, the most common F**d 9" found is out of trucks. They're a 5x5.5" pattern.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
