Hey Darren, I do know the ORD was selling/making a kit to do this. I talked to them a while back and it was a kit that converts it over to the "Ford 9in" design with the outter bearing/flange to hold in the axle shafts.......:beer: :D

Late 80's and the 90's there is a 6 lug SEMI Floating (as in C clip) 14. It cam on a lot of the 3/4 ton trucks and burbs as well as some 1/2 with I think the hub it too big to fit through a standard 6 lug wheel. There might be an adaptor available with 6 but not sure who you would check with on that. Probably Stephen at ORD www.offroaddesign.com Tell him Grimmy told you to bug him haha.

Thanks, I was going to pick up a 63" 14 bolt, but I changed my mind:) I think I'll go back to the 58" ifs rear with 2" bs wheels.

Donavon from CK5 board is making them. He has to turn your hub down, redrill it and then bore out the center of your 6 lug wheel to fit over it.

call stephen at off road design...he has a line on some new alxes from the new IFS trucks with 6 lugs...i seem to remember something about $800...but i would call him to find out...www.offroaddesign.com (http://www.offroaddesign.com)

Seabass I can chance them from 8 lug to 6 lug. It would be $400 to do it and that will fit the stock 14 bolt brakes or $150 and you will have to figure out the brakes yourself. Or I have a Dana 60 semi floater that is 57" wide with Dutchman Axles and Detroit locker in it with 4.10 in it. I want $1200 for it. It has caddy disc brakes on it to.
