my issue:
-60-fridgebody about to get the CV ifs swap[5 lug]
-rear end[OE] is 6 lug. what needs to happen to make this a 5 lug?
i'd really like to keep the rear end if possible

All solutions welcome. thanks in advance.

 

A six lug rear axle tells us you have an F-350. The optional ratios were 5.14/1 and 5.83/1. If you are installing a car front axle, essentially making the truck at most a half ton, why do you want to keep the rear axle? Find a 9" from a half ton with roadable gear set and call it done. Besides, I know of no simple way to convert the stouter six lug hubs to the smaller five lug. Stu

 

THX STU. will start looking for a modern rear end.
