My 68 c-10 has a 73 front suspension on it to upgrade it to a discbrake system. Now I need a 5 lug rearend to go with the 5 lug frontend. Will the 73 rearend work? I know that the rear suspension on a 73 is a learspring setup and my 68 is a track arm setup. I think that all I would have to do is to cut and reweld my mounting brackets and remove the shock mounts. What do you guys think? Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

I couldn't find the rearend conversion on earlyclasic's site. All I found was the axle conversions. Where exactly is it at on the site?
