Ok Im really a f-body guy and I dont know a whole lot about the trucks. I recently bought a 2000 rcsb with a 5.3 2wd My question is, is there a way to swap out rear ends to a 5 bolt hub....and this is gunna sound stupid, but I want to do this so I can run Torque Thrust 2 wheels..only becasue I havent seen a truck my year modle with them. Also, is this even possible because of the front hubs? Do they even make a 5 bolt that will match up to the rest of my susspenion? I dont care a hole lot on the cost of the prodject...i just want to get started on it! Any advise will be helpfull!

 

You can get them for our trucks but since they are 6-lug the are 6-spoked. there are a lot of trucks on here with them.

 

yea..the torque thrust st i think? I just love the way the tt2's look...so i thought id give it a shot... cuz i wasnt to impressed with the way the st's look..

 

its possible...theres a couple trucks on here with 5 lugs. i think you can put spindles and hubs from an obs on maybe...i may just be dreaming i read that somewhere though

 

you can do a swap, however, you could buy my 17" TT2 truck 6 lug wheels!

 

The front hubs need to be welded and redrilled for the 5x5 bolt pattern and the rear axles swapped out for OBS axles if i recall correctly.

 

yea..i figured that the front would probably have to be drilled...i also read that the rear ends from the impalla's work? since a local body shop has one from a ss impalla for pretty cheap is this correct?

 

You might be able to make it work, but you'd have to take some measurements and also weld some spring perches on it since the impalas don't have leaf spring rears.

You'd be better off finding an OBS rear end in a junkyard.

 

you sir, are probably right...i think it would probably just be easyer thanks for the advise

 

before you pull one out of the junkyard though make sure and take some measurements, im not 100% sure that they are the same.
