I want to keep the 6 hole wheels that are original. When did the spacing for the 6 hole wheels change in GM trucks? Also someone mentioned a blazer rear end as a normal doner. Do the blazer axles have the same stud spacing? | | |

I have a '68 C/10 stepside, a '67 K/10 Sub, a '71 GMC Jimmy and just got a '72 Chevy blazer rolling frame. All the 12-bolt pumpkins were the same.Might be some 2whl/4whl differences in spring perches, coil vs leaf?
Every 25 years I like to rebuild that 292 just for GP
