Rear axle (not rear end) swap - 6 lug to 5 lug - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The main reason why i didn't drill out my old one's or jusy go buy 5 lugs is i wanted a differant rear end ratio. So i just went to the junk yard and bought a 2.76 rear end. 104$ at pul a part in louisville. Now since i have it. I might as well use as much of it as i can. I can't get both raer ends apart for a couple of weeks but when i can i will make sure and update with picks on how it does. Thank you all for being so helpful!!
