Technical 56 chevy truck bolt patterns

Well I checked your local Craigslist and nothing but three 12 bolts $$, so two options are check Facebook or start trolling wrecking yards by foot or phone. Has to be one Camaro/Firebird rear around. Maybe run wanted add here or CL.

 

Or look over at your wife and tell her your looking for a nice rear end. After she slaps you silly , explain yourself and maybe she will do the leg work so you do you don’t get any ideas in your head.

 

Maybe an S10 would be easier to grab. Bet you could have one by Saturday afternoon.

 

Lol yes I’ll try that with the wife tonight lol. I might be sleeping in the truck lol. Are the S10 Rearend’s too narrow?

 

...another option, buy one wheel adaptor for your rear axle pattern that converts to the front pattern,
carry one spare. you will probly never use it.

 

use a spare to match rear, use adaptor on front.

 

I would think any automotive machine shop should be able to drill your rotors or axle. No shipping involved if you can find someplace local.

 

Again, if nothing will satisfy you except having all 4 wheels use the same bolt pattern, you are going to have to spend a little money to get there.
If you just want a spare that fits both ends of the vehicle, get a $50 used aluminum wheel like I posted above. Then get a plastic wheel pattern identifier for a 5" pattern. Probably about $5. Center it on the wheel and use a transfer punch ($25 for a set from Amazon) to locate the holes. Then your trusty drill to poke some holes. Simple, cheap, and you get a couple new things for your toolbox.

One other thing to consider when you change rear ends or redrill your current axles, does the center register on the axle also fit your wheels of choice?

 

No luck here, Jeff.
Looks like the one I have is 4.5 and a smaller pattern. From the offset appears to have come from a front wheel drive car anyways.

 

No need to cobble a two pattern wheel up they are readily available easily enough. Why anyone would even suggest doing that is way beyond me.

 

They're not that common in 5x5 and 5x4.75

 

I like that. I went to the website, they also do sizes (by request) not listed.

 

You may try a S10 4x4 rear . I believe 4x4 wider then 2wheel drive . C*m*r* might still be your best bet . Or Nova .

 

Or an afternoon with a drill press and center punch !!

 

I agree. It seems so much simpler to just buy 10 new studs and redrill your original rotors to 5 x 5 , than to change rear ends. And, if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, there must be a half dozen machine shops in your area that could do it...it's pretty basic stuff.
