Thanks for the advice on that. I have not seen the rear end, my friend is
getting it from his brother, and he said he thought it was a 5 lug, so i
will have him check before he hauls 50 miles to the shop.
I was probably going to have to change the gears to get the ratio i want, is
it possible to change the axels too and get 5 lug? I don't know how much
gears and axels cost, but i am wondering if it is better to get the rear end
free and put in new gears and axels, or get another rear end and may have to
still get new gears and axels anyway.
Thanks again ,,,gotta go to work...

The 68 C-10 hubs came from the factory with six lugs. If this one is five
lug it has been swapped or the hubs are redrilled for five lugs. It can be
swapped, but the spring perches will likely need replaced.
