It might be easier to swap the differential for a '64-'70 truck 12 bolt. Or if you are going with 5 lugs, a '71-'72 would be a good swap. That is if you can find one.
No matter which column you use, it will have to be modified/shortened for use with the power steering.
Let me know if you need the steering box adapter plate. |
I know I will need the steering box adapter...
And I will be staying with the six lug for several reasons, first off I already have the disk brake conversion for 6 lug... second, I am looking at 6 spoke crager wheels.. EVERYONE has 5 lug cragers.. but 6 is kinda unique.. and less likely to have people try to steal them... Just my thoughts..
I wonder what a posi 12 bolt, 6 lug axle will set me back...
