I want to switch to 4.5 bolt circle.
The rearend in the truck was all rebuilt a few years back so I do not want to replace it with a another rearend in ? condition.
Will the axles from a 84 9.25 4.5 go into a 85 up 9.25 5.5?
I see a .1875 difference in the length,is this difference on the inside or outside of the housing?
Are the housings different between the said years?
I may redrill the axles to the 4.5 pattern if I have no other reasonable options.
I am on a tight budget so I am looking for the inexpensive but best way.
