Hi guys:
I have been in the process of restoring a stock Pinto ('78" rear axle to replace the 6.75" on my wagon. Everything has been sandblasted and painted with POR-15, and chassis black. It all needs reassembled (I bought a rebuild kit with bearings and such).
HOWEVER - QUESTIONS:
The axles are obviously 4-lug. I would like to go to 5-lug:
a) HAS ANYONE SUCCESSFULLY HAD A FOUR LUG AXLE REDRILLED FOR FIVE LUG?
b) OR, ARE THERE ANY OTHER FORDS THAT HAVE STOCK FIVE LUG AXLES THAT ARE "PLUG AND PLAY" FOR THIS REAR END?
(same length, bearing size, splines, backing plates, only five lug)
SUGGESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE! Thanks you.
Chris
