Oldblu49,
and Keahi,

You are the first to provide info on an older rear end that has a gear reatio and the 6 lug patern.

I have looked at all the pictures I have seen on the internet of AD trucks and it seems the hot rod trucks are almost all 5 bolt and the restored trucks are 6 bolt lugs.

My initial thought is to stick to 6 bolt. I don't know enough yet or have not researched on the available 5 or 6 bolt after market wheels.

I also don't know how hard it would be to find a Task Force series rear end for reasonable $.

Oldblu49, is the Task Force rear end the same width as the AD trucks?


If you didn’t skin a knuckle while you were working on your truck, you weren’t working hard enough!
