]2eDeYe Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Why would you want 4-lug? I could almost see going to 5-lug, but.....6 lug rules. anyways, anything is possible.... Quote Link to comment

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 you do realize that a 510 is independent suspension and the 521 is a solid axle right? Quote Link to comment

WICKED JESTER Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 you do realize that a 510 is independent suspension and the 521 is a solid axle right? the 510 wagon has a solid rear axel but it will not work in the truck unless you do some fabrication why not buy wheel adaptors 6 to 4 lug Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Depends on the wheels. Custom wheels come in various offsets. Quote Link to comment

datsunaholic Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 true, but their in lies $$$ Since he already stated the whole point was in custom wheels, that's not an issue. He isn't considering doing this to put 13" stock 510 wheels on. More of an issue in the original plan is the weaker axles. Might as well have the stock axles welded up and redrilled for 5-lug. Will require redesigning the brakes, but I can't see how someone would put a 510 rear in a truck and use those puny drums to begin with. Quote Link to comment
