I am trying to find out what the dementions are on five lug patern and if i can get my axils on my 7.5 rear end machined because its a 4 lug set up? also if this could be done would rear explorer calipers and rotors work on it?
Not worth the effort involved. Check with some of the guys in your area and find you a complete 5 lug rearend. Might check with Mavaholic. I'm not sure how close he is to you but he may be able to help.
Bolt pattern for 4 and 5 lug rears are 4 1/2". You'd have to drill the drums too. I don't know what that would cost, but I personally would try to find a 5 lug rear and disc brake set up for the front. Explorer brakes would not be a bolt on deal although if you have the skills, it could be modified to work. By the way, I am down by Annapolis, about 1 hour away from you.
i have one out here on the eastern panhandle of WV its a 8inch 5 lug out of a 74 with new brakes PM me for details
