Re: Imperial rear?

[JimJablonski <groovinjim@xxxxxxx>]

OK got it.  Honestly, Gary, I would look for a reasonable axle shop to rework either the older or newer axles to match the swapped-in assembly / old wheels combination.  In the long run this would be a fix it once and forget about it approach.  Just my opinion.

Has anyone heard of these guys and are they near you?  I don't know them but have had good luck getting off-road guys to do work for me as their work typically needs to hold up to some serious abuse.

Thank you,

The goal is to swap in a newer drum to drum assembly and keep all 4 wheels 4 1/2" bolt pattern. The available drum to drum rear unit came from a 1972 Imperial, which unfortunately has the wonky 5" Imperial axle/bolt pattern.

Thanks,
