ssnapz Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 i looked around and cant find any info. i want to put the 300 zx rear end in my 85 720, but i want to know if anyone knows of a way to convert the front to 5 lug. is there a hub that will go on the stock spindle or maybe a spindle that can go on my truck. any advice or ideas. worst case i can run adapters but i dont want to go that way Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 You can buy adapters, you can have a machine shop redrill the wholes for you, I am not sure what you can do for a swap...Being down in california you should be able to find a shop that can help you out.. I know not much help...good luck Quote Link to comment

I can't remember the details either the bearing is the same or you need the 'Yoda bearing or something.
