He already has 5 lug drums on the 71 axles, any reason he'd have to replace them besides wear? I mentioned getting 5 lug axles for the 69 rear in my first post in this thread as it seems like the most simple option, just trying to make sure there aren't any compatibility issues besides possible tire clearance issues.
