8 3/4" from a 1/2 Ton P/U or Van For "A" Body

Even the axles are excellent to use.

Unlike the C body axles, they do not have the drop size step toward the end and you can pay to have them cut and resplined. You'll end up with large bolt pattern if you do, but a lot of people go that way for disc brake conversions anyway.

I know someone in Colorado who will cut and spline them for $75 a pair, so you can use the housing, axles and buy new flanges for your brakes and relocate the spring pirches.


So, if I have the truck axles cut down & splined I will have the "big" bolt pattern.

Is that 5 X 4 1/2"?

I'm looking to swap OEM junk yard parts for disc brakes on the front so 4 X 4 1/2" would be great..
