Hello All! I once heard of a website where they sell complete kits to upgrade to 4 lug to 5 lug in all four corners. Im looking to upgrade to disc brakes in the front. as for the back it really doesnt matter for me if they are drums or disc. Does anybody know which way to make this happens. Thanks so much in advance!!
the front is simple, just follow the instructions in the thread that Frank mentioned above. I swapped to 5 lug on a 70 and I don't know if they are all the same or not, but I had to change bearings and retainers to the earlier axle to make it work. The 70 uses a 8" housing but the bearing retainer bolt pattern is slightly different than the later models but I'm not sure if the axles are different (bearing ID). After fooling with it and realizing it was costing too much, I swapped the entire housing (because I had one) for the later model that had the 5 lug axles in it.
Thanks! Thank guys for the info it gave me a really good idea on where to get started. Also I want to thank all you for the welcome. I really appreciate it!
