ugly rear end

I have a 7.25 rear end and am switching to an 8 3/4. I have been told that for some reason since my car is a 1973 that i have the small bolt pattern on the rear axels. I was wondering if this was true and if i got a rear end with the big bolt pattern how big of a pain it would be to drill out new wholes on the axel...or if that is safe?


measure what you have now and go from there.


here is how to measue and see what pattern you have .
