If your truck currently has a 12 bolt, you can purchase 5 lug conversion axles and then one of the 3 rear disc brake conversion bracket sets that I make for the 5 x 5" wheel stud pattern. Another option would be to find a 12 bolt from a '71-'72 C10 which will be a direct bolt in, into a '63-'66 C10. The '63 & '64's will require a panhard bar modification. A third option is a '73-'82 12 bolt or '79-'86 10 bolt from a C10 or a '87-'91 10 bolt from a R1500. The '71-'91 differentials will be 1.5" wider than your current differential. My 5 x 5 rear disc brackets will work on any of the above.

Oh and I'm gonna try and hold out for a newer front xmember. The guys parts were older and rough. Thanks!
