I have the motive gear rear 5 lug axles in my 68 rearend, they fit perfect. I have yet to log any miles but am happy so far with them. I did put new bearings, seals and c clips. I did replace the cross shaft bolt as well. If planning on going disc brakes captainfab has his kit on this board, but there is also a kit that Little shop mfg has. I will likely be going with this kit. The rotors are zinc plated for rust prevention. I haven’t done a price comparison but the captainfab kit would allow you to source your rotor/caliper of choice. You can get coated calipers/rotors from rockauto which will be specifically for rust prevention.
