6.5 vs 7.5 axles

Postby 71GTKammback » Sun Oct 18, 2015 6:35 pm

Anyone happen to know if the axles on the 6.5 rear are the same as the 7.5"?

I hear about people changing out the 7.5 with S10 axles but never the 6.5. Dont want to V8 the car but need 14" rims to get decent tires.

7.5" axles do NOT fit in a 6.5" housing.
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....
