I think you're a little short on information. If your rear is original and like all other AD trucks you have 6 lug wheels. Are you planing on replacing the rear with a camaro?

Why don't you bolt them on and see if they fit.

You might want to decide on what kind of hubs you want first. I made the mistake of buying a set of Camaro 5 bolt wheels thinking I would be putting a set of the dog dish hubs on them. After blasting and powder coating and buying the new chrome hubs, I discovered I would need to attach clips to hold the hubs on. It never ends...

Hello CooleThanEthan, Grant here. IF your rear axle is from a GM passenger car, which it probably is by the looks of it, it will most likely have a 5-4 3/4 pattern. The other option for GM passenger car is 5-5. The latter is also a primary pattern for 1/2 ton trucks, 2wd for many years too. Hope it helps. Grant.

I may be all wet here, but I'm thinking that that rear is from an Aerostar van. It has the ear for the upper link and the hanger on the snout for the vibration damper. If it is a ford diff, then the bolt circle will be 5 x 4 1/2. The best way to be sure of the bolt circle is to measure from the center of one stud to the outside of the one roughly opposite from it. This will give you the circle dimension. This method is for 5 lug only.

thanks for the replies guys! i went out and measured the bolt pattern last night and it comes out to a 5x 4-1/2 as mentioned. i looked closer at the rear and guess what it's got ford stamped on it. lol the front disc brakes are the same bolt pattern as well and are mounted with some plate adapters. i got the trim tag info from the rear and im going to try to search for what car it came of off. thanks again
