Is anyone out there selling 5 lug conversion parts?

Stub axles, rotors etc, all ready to bolt together?

You will have to find someone not completing a project in most cases. It is getting harder to scrounge up parts from the 70's. If you do find them they can be pricey.

I have a couple of "pinch bolt" struts in good condition. Fit '69-'72 ball joints. No shocks, I forget which calipers they use. Reasonable.

I have more than a few of those lovely things....

Front is just drilled out rotors if I recall.
Rear is new stub axles, and new rotors....I think.

I believe the axles stay the same...
I am not looking for bigger brakes, the ones I have still stop the car fine.
Just want to change the wheels over for the new flares now...
It's that slippery slope I am sliding down, so I am sure the avalanche will start one of these days...
Fr now I want to put on bigger wheels with no adapter plates....cause those just keep me at 7 inch wheels....which makes the flare a waste of time IMHO.


Where is Eric, this was supposed to get him to speak up.

Just to fit wheels....so super simple.
I have all nice suspension, new brakes etc from years of slow restoration.
Then....I bought flares.
I put one of them on....now I need to commit.

5 lug wheels with spacers/adapters push a 7 inch wheel all the way out to the lip.
No good, I am putting wide wheels on, so I need to go to 5 lug drilled out parts.

I even have a mill, but just no time.

Let me see if I have all the parts I need and I may have a local shop do it, or even better would be Chris....he will make sure they are right....

Is anyone selling non drilled rotors?
How about just drilled for five lugs?
