Friend of mine want to go full width and found 8 lug d44 axles are more plentiful than 5 lug. Does anyone know if the spindles snout is the same on both an 8 lug and 5 lug? He knows he will need to buy new 5 lug hubs but needs correct spinle so the caliper brackets(aftermarket wilwood) will center the caliper correctly.
Other question is if he replaced both hubs and spindles so they go together, will the 8 lug axle shaft be correct length for the locking hub to work?
Thanks in advance.
Also he will have a 76 complete disc front and 9 in with the biggest 76-77 drums he will need to get rid of. If someone found him a good full width 44 high pinion NON CAST tube he would probably trade.
