Rear axle swap

I have a 70 C10 6 lug and want to swap it to 5x4.75 is there somewhere I can buy new axles to fit my 12 bolt rear end, or would I have to swap to a 10 bolt?

Re: Rear axle swap

Moser can probably help you out.

Re: Rear axle swap

Moser makes 5 lug conversion axles.

I'd never use a 10 bolt.

Re: Rear axle swap

Personally, I would never convert to the lighter duty car sized 4 3/4" parts. The 5 on 5 truck and big car parts were sized appropriately for the duty they were expected to perform.
