However, on the way home, I stopped by discount tires to see if they could help me on the wheels I had just bought, but they can't! He said he'd give me a little break, but a very little break. See, I have a 5 on 5 rear whereas my fronts are 5 on 4 3/4 lug pattern. If I went with a cool axle like Dave was showing, I'd have to take a pretty large loss on buying new wheels. This is complicated!

I wonder if the Ford 9" is 5 on 5? That would solve a problem. Have to do a little homework right now for an axle. AT least it's not like pulling an engine!

Get whatever will fit and redrill your axels and drums.
