It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

the '50 has a 4.75 bolt pattern where as the '75 I think that would be 4/1/4 bolt pattern, Wheel lug coverters are your best bet.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Yeah, I know lug converters are unrecommended and are unsafe cause, they dont allow support. Best bet is to ither change the axle or get the correct rims.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Clarification buds................C10 is 5" bolt circle.
BTW, the chart that Seon posted is OK, but it lacks quite a bit of the older stuff, and is confusing on the Chev truck listings, plus a couple other errors.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
